Dozens protestors rallied outside the Indian consulate at Bay & Bloor Thursday, demanding better treatment of women in the country.

The demonstration comes on the heels of the death of a woman gang raped on a bus in New Delhi.

The violent attack on the 23-year-old symbolically named "Damini", has sparked daily protests in India & a heated discussion about treatment of women.

In Toronto, demonstrators hoisted posters, calling for men in India to better respect women & criticizing what they say is a legal system that ignores violence against women.

Indian activists marked a "black day" Thursday as 5 men formally charged in the case.  The counts against them include murder & rape. If found guilty, the men could be sentenced to death.
