Women are not safe anywhere and all cities are kinda same but delhi is something else! Thouugh i love this place but have tonadmit this place makes u feel unsafe and insecure upto another level! Delhi has the worst record when it comes to women safety!
If not assaulted every woman over here is made to feel unsafe in one way or other! People staring at you in a creepy way is not something new! Everyday i catch someone or the other staring at me in a way they should not and its not only me but all the girls living in delhi!😵 Today my friend was upset because a guy tried to touch her in a public transport amd people around reacted as if nothing happened!😡
I totally get what you are saying. I could travel in the women’s coach in metro but a 10 min ride from the metro station to home in a rickshaw would become a disgusting experience more often than not.
Even now when I go for dinner at my friend’s place, I always ask him to accompany me home late at night even if it’s a five minute walking distance. He thinks I’m paranoid but I guess that’s what living in Delhi has done to me. I will forever call that city my true home but when it comes to safety, being paranoid has been imbibed in my dna now.
