If I can recommend that you do one thing this week, it is buy Look magazine. Because not only will you find out what Posh Spice’s favourite fat busting secret is, and about the new Louboutin shoe, but you will also get to read an article about the amazing Gulabi Gang, a growing vigilante group of Indian women who are literally fighting for women’s rights - in a pink uniform. 

10,000 women have joined the group since it was started two years ago by Sampat Pal Devi, a woman from Uttar Pradesh who was not allowed to go to school and was forced to marry at the age of twelve. She set up the group after noticing how the male village leaders were powerful as a group, and decided that women could have the same power if they grouped together with a common aim. The group learn traditional methods of combat and employ violence only as necessary in the name of justice, such as forcing police to investigate rapes and teaching abusive husbands the error of their way.

I’ve found a BBC news link here, just in case you just can’t wait to buy your copy of Look to read about them.
