NEW DELHI (AFP): Priya Sharma drove more than 30km to get to an exclusive boutique in a teeming New Delhi residential district – a women-only liquor store.

Inside a shopping mall, the store provides a safe environment for women to buy alcohol in a city where harassment and discrimination is a daily battle and many women fear going out at night.
