    Women are the foundation of any
    economy and they fundamentally mold
    the fate of the nation.

    Women who earlier remained at home


    and catered to the household obligations
    is now balancing both work and home at
    Introductio the same time.

    n Women who prior remained at home to


    cater to the familial obligations started to
    balance both work and home.
    So, in such a scenario where there are
    so many crimes happening against
    women and so many criminal cases
    pending in the courts, should more
    and more women really be
    encouraged to work in late-night shifts
    or not?
    Factories Act 1948 banned working of
    women in night shifts by stating that no
    women shall be required or allowed to work
    in any factory except between the hours of 6
    AM and 7 PM.

    In November 2019, Karnataka government


    lifted restrictions on allowing women to work
    FACTS in night shifts in all sectors. It issued
    guidelines to employers to ensure safety of
    women employees.

    Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh,


    Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra too amended
    factories act 1948 to allow women to work in night
    shifts.”
    In the Opinion of
    Aditya Raj Singh :
    (against the view)

    night

    drop facilities.
    5. Night shift damaging body resilience and
    control over blood sugar

    increased risk of developing breast cancer,

    Sakshi Singh:
    • Today, the median female share of
    the global workforce is 45.4%.
    • The role of women in urban
    workforce has expanded
    exponentially in recent decades.
    • In spite of lot of contributions given
    by women in regards of work
    towards society we still debate

    • Women are highly competent and
    will prove to be a greater asset to
    the businesses
    • Health issue will not just prevail
    because women chose to work at
    night
    • Women nowadays are sufficient and
    efficient to look both after their
    society and family .
    In the Opinion of
    Ritika Jain :
    (against the view)
    • Women Safety
    • Increase in the rate of crime
    • Transport Facilities
    • Health Concern
    • Work life Balance
    Conclusion
    • Bridging the gender inequality gap.

    • More women workforce in night
    ensures more safety.
