Mumbai: Amid questions being raised about the safety and security of women, 59 per cent of women here felt that work environment in the metropolis is safe for them, a recent survey report said.
A survey conducted in Mumbai, Latur and Vadodara by the IRIS Knowledge Foundation and commissioned by the United Nations Habitat stated that more women (59 per cent) than men reported that work places were safe.
