Several noted female politicians, including Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi, joined the social media campaign #INeverAskForIt to end shaming and blaming of victims of sexual crimes.

The easiest way to absolve oneself from the responsibility of seeking mindset& societal change is to blame the sexual assault survivors-judge her for her clothes, the time she was out, her attitude, her free spiritedness, her ambition.
Time to end this.

Others like NCP leader Supriya Sule, Aam Aadmi Party MLA Atishi, singers Sona Mohapatra and Ankur Tewari, activist Sonam Mahajan and journalist Barkha Dutt took to Twitter to show solidarity and end gender-based and sexual violence.
