The issue of women’s safety at night is not a new thing. We all know that things get tougher for women after dark. Leaving public transport aside, sometimes women feel uncomfortable even driving their own car. They fear that if they are seen alone, someone will follow or harass them. A video related to this concern is going viral on social media these days. This video sheds light on the everyday reality of women. A woman tells what precautions she takes for her safety while driving alone late at night. “At first I drive fast so no one can recognize me. I tie my long hair back and wear a hoodie to hide my identity.” In addition, she avoids deliberately overtaking or unnecessarily honking, for fear of angering someone and making the situation worse. In the video, the woman goes on to say: “It’s 11:36 at night. I’m going alone to pick up my husband from the airport. I thought why not share with everyone the little precautions I take at this time.” His words are understandable to many people. She says: “People often say that women have everything, the law is with us. But the truth is that even while doing small tasks, we have to think about our safety on many levels. Going to the airport to pick up your husband is not a big deal, but we cannot do it without fear and stress.” This video is not just one woman’s experience, but a look at millions of women who live with this fear every day. This video was shared by an Instagram user named @peeling.the.onion, and it was flooded with comments. One user wrote: “This scene is really painful… It’s a shame we live in such a country.” Another wrote: “It’s surprising to know that people still have this thinking…” Another wrote that the question is when the time will come when women will be able to feel safe on the streets even at night without any worries.
