A woman who was raped on a bus by several men on Sunday found an unlikely supporter: everyone.

Outrage swept across India after the news of the gang rape broke, with elected officials and citizens alike demanding justice for the young medical student. Even more unusual, justice looks possible. On Wednesday, police announced that four of the six men accused had been arrested.

While the young woman struggles for her life in a hospital in New Delhi, students and activists are galvanizing support to pressure law enforcement and the justice system to change the way crimes against women are prosecuted in order to make the capital city safer.

Here are some of the scheduled events, although not all the protests have been confirmed.

1. India Gate on Wednesday, 5 p.m:
The student union of Jawaharlal Nehru University is calling concerned citizens of Delhi to assemble at India Gate to demand justice for the rape victim and a safer city for women.

“The lack of safety for women in Delhi is based in systemic apathy of the Delhi Police, Home Ministry and Delhi C.M. towards crimes against women,” V. Lenin Kumar, the union's president, said on this Facebook page. “We want the criminal justice system to provide immediate justice in this case, but we also demand general policy level steps to improve the safety situation in Delhi.”

2. “If you seriously want to do something & are committed to not let #DelhiRape go just as a story, be at Lodhi Garden, 2:30 p.m. on Thurs Dec. 20,” one user wrote on his Twitter feed.

3. Harbhajan Singh, the cricket player, announced a protest march at India Gate on Twitter. The march, “Save Women, Save India,” is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Thursday. “Plz Be there.. No passes, No money… BRING EVERYONE,” he declared.
