The demonstration 'Azad women for Azadi' saw women of different faiths coming together to express solidarity with the protesters.
Iqra Raza, a Delhi University student, who organised the protest, said, "My cousin was singled out by police during a citizens' march held last week. A policeman punched her in the chest. We are protesting against the targeting of Muslim women by the forces. It constitutes a hate crime."
