Indian sisters filmed fighting back against alleged harassershttp://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/01/sisters-fight-back-harassment-indian-bus


This is a story of two sisters in India that were caught on camera beating alleged harassers. As they were caught on camera by a passenger on the bus the video was able to be shown across the world. The video was also used by 'NDTV News' which is an Indian news channel. Through the news channel the girls heroic actions were shown all over the world, it only through UGC that the story became so big and made such a big change. 

Through the video being publicized people have been made aware that women will fight back and that men don't have so much power. It is only because of UGC that they people are now aware. Furthermore if this incident hadn't been filmed no body would of known about.
