JAIPUR, India - All-female police units are shaking up the male-dominated force in conservative northwest India, hitting the streets to combat sex crimes and a pervasive culture of silence around rape.
One such squad in Jaipur has been patrolling bus stops, colleges and parks where women are vulnerable to sexual harassment.
Women can face a barrage on India's streets, enduring everything from lewd jokes and strangers following them - often dismissed as innocent teasing - to physical attacks and rape.
