Female safety issues, because it's India.
I'm game for this policy though - we need more late night women workers to normalize it in the culture, and also as a big "fuck you" to the enterprising rapists, perverts and chauvinists.
Not a fan of the longer work hours though.
- _8j50 4y agoHow is that a big "fuck you" to them? More women to rape late at night? You think if they scream or call the cops they will stop the rapist? Doesn't work that way, even in the US.
- fakedang 4y agoThe bad kind of folk, especially in India, see women as weak and to be dominated, and they revel in the fact that ladies are fearful to go out alone at night. The fear they impose on women is what feeds them, not some spur of the moment action. And I clearly know you aren't from India, because women who work in remote factories are often ferried to and from their homes in buses for each shift. Or their families live within walking distance from the factories, as part of company housing.
- cuteboy19 4y agoThe law itself was an honest acknowledgement that the state cannot protect women, especially in the late hours when there is no one else to intervene. So this state of affairs would need to change. It's not about any conservative view that women can work up to 8pm but not 11pm
