Rather than coming up with some positive and practical proposals in dealing with the menace, the State Women’s Commission on Friday, proposed some weird ideas. It said only women tailors, barbar for females.
The Women’s Commission further said that men should not tailor clothes for women and not cut their hair.
“A proposal was floated [at the meeting] that only female tailors should take the measurement of stitched clothes worn by women and that CCTVs should be installed in these areas,” said Himani Agarwal, a member of the commission.
“We are of the view that because of men involved in this type of profession, women are molested,” said Agarwal. “They [men] try to indulge in bad touch,” she added.
Uttar Pradesh State Women Commission chief Babita Chouhan also said that gyms for women should employ only women trainers. “If a woman wishes to train with a male trainer, she will need to provide written consent,” added Chouhan.
The Women’s Commission in its proposal further said such trainers would have get The police verification, should be made mandatory. of all such trainers should be made mandatory.
However, not all men have “bad intentions”, Agarwal said. The measures were only proposals for now, she said, adding that the commission would subsequently request the state government to make laws in this regard.
However, she said that these are only proposals and have not yet been finalised.
