Via the UK's Mirror Online: India gang rape victim's father reveals daughter's name is Jyoti Singh Pandey. Excerpt:
She is known to the world only as India’s Daughter following her sickening gang rape and murder.
But today, with permission of her devastated father, we can reveal her name: Jyoti Singh Pandey.
Brave dad Badri, 53, told The Sunday People: “We want the world to know her real name.
“My daughter didn’t do anything wrong, she died while protecting herself.
“I am proud of her. Revealing her name will give courage to other women who have survived these attacks. They will find strength from my daughter.”Major English-language Indian media are still not publishing the name. Nor is Reuters (and thanks to Maryn McKenna for tweeting the link). It seems to me that if the family is willing to go public, we should use the name. Otherwise we only respect the widespread attitude that rape shames the victim and not the criminal.
