Katrina Kaif-Bollywood starTHE GALABI GANG- in India's remote district of Banda- a group of outraged women joined together in vigilante force to empower women in the area to stop domestic violence and other crimes against women.
Sampat Pal Devi's "PINK GANG" has become a force for men to reckon with- the group's self taught defense tactics are used little now-after 3 years and hundreds of women joining the Gang. The electric PINK saris are the Gang's uniform and shops in the neighborhood can't keep them in stock. The Galabi Gang is credited for lowering crimes against women, increased attendance of girls in schools and intercepting black marketers looting a local food bank and improved living conditions.
