The recent unveiling of a statue in Kolkata, India, intended as a tribute to a doctor tragically raped and murdered, has sparked intense debate and criticism on social media. Created by junior doctors at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the sculpture, titled 'Cry of the Hour,' depicts a woman screaming, aiming to capture the victim's pain and trauma. However, many users have deemed the artwork disrespectful and tone-deaf, highlighting the sensitive nature of the issue and the potential for the statue to exacerbate feelings of distress among those who are already grieving the loss of the doctor and the wider societal implications of violence against women.
