MUMBAI: In the wake of the gang rape of a photojournalist in Mumbai just months after the brutal gang rape and murder of Nirbhaya in Delhi, CNN-IBN is forced to ask yet again whether working women in India’s 2 biggest metros feel safe or not. In an effort to get an answer to this question, 4 CNN-IBN reporters track 8 women (including a radio-jockey, salesgirl, photographer, school teacher, and a college student) in Mumbai and Delhi, right through their daily routine to understand what they experience as women living, working and commuting in a big city.
Speaking candidly, these 8 ladies talk about the anger and the helplessness they feel. They talk about the inaction they see from police, they talk about the societal pressure that’s put on women to ‘adjust’, ‘cover-up’, and ‘compromise’ with the way men behave, while men see no need to change themselves. A stark, no-holds-barred documentary of how India is NO COUNTRY FOR WOMEN.
