Abstract
In India, 25.51 percent of urban and 30.02 percent of rural women are away from home to attend their professional activities (MoSPI, 2018). The activities are time based in India, for instance school, public office, private office, shops, mall and etc. have specific time under their governing act. These timings are not gender based hence, women is not restricted to work on specific time, however as part of culture and customs women are preferred to work in day time. At present, Multinational companies (MNC) are operating IT, ITes, BPO, KPO industries which requires women work forces that work 24/7 (Rai and Anup, 2006). Hence, the security for women is enhanced in above said sectors. The issue of women security is of high concern in recent times with several crimes against women are published through media (Sharma, 2015). Therefore an insight on the issue is need of the hour.
