Does Delhi Gang Rape Victim Deserve the Posthumous US Courage Award?

The 23-year-old Indian woman, whose barbaric gang rape and subsequent death at the hands of her perpetrators heralded calls for greater safety and security for womenfolk in the country, will be posthumously awarded the Bravery award by the US administration on 8 March. Nevertheless, many have questioned if her demise called for individual merit considering that she, like countless other oppressed women, had no choice but yield into the cruelty inflicted upon her.
