Women safety in the world is a big concern which has been a most important topic regarding women safety. Safety of women matters a lot whether at home, outside the home or working place. Few crimes against women especially rape cases were very dread and fearful. Because of such crimes, women safety in the world has become a doubtful topic. Some of the most common crimes against women are rape, dowry deaths, sexual harassment at home or work place, kidnapping and abduction, cruelty by husband, relatives, assault on a woman, and sex trafficking.
Women are harassed not only in the night or evening but also in the day time at their home, working places, or other places like street, club, etc. It is found through the survey that the reason of sexual harassment is the lack of gender-friendly environment and improper functional infrastructure such as consumption of alcohol and drugs in open area, lack of adequate lighting, safe public toilets, sidewalks, lack of effective police service, lack of properly working helpline numbers, etc. A huge percentage of women have no faith that police can curb such harassment cases. There is an urgent need to understand and solve this problem of women safety so that they can also grow equally like men in their own country.
Here are few things women do to stay safe(r):
1. Walk with our keys in hand in case we need to use them as a weapon
2. If followed by someone on foot, we stop and pretend to make a call or otherwise occupy ourselves to allow them to pass
3. Walk past our destination, particularly if it’s our home, if someone’s been trailing us
