ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਹੈ। ਨਵੇਂ ਸਰਵੇਖਣ ਮੁਤਾਬਕ ਛੁੱਟੀਆਂ ’ਚ ਘੁੰਮਣ ਜਾਂ ਕੰਮ ਲਈ ਬਾਹਰ ਜਾਣ ਦੇ
ਪੱਖ ਤੋਂ ਦਿੱਲੀ ਨੂੰ ਸੱਭ ਤੋਂ ਅਸੁਰੱਖਿਅਤ ਮਹਾਨਗਰ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਮੁੰਬਈ ਦੀਆਂ
ਔਰਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਦੇ ਹਿਸਾਬ ਨਾਲ (34 ਫ਼ੀ ਸਦੀ) ਸੱਭ ਤੋਂ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਅਤ ਦਸਿਆ ਗਿਆ
ਹੈ ਜਦਕਿ 12 ਫ਼ੀ ਸਦੀ ਵੋਟਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਅਹਿਮਦਾਬਾਦ ਅਤੇ ਬੰਗਲੌਰ ਦੂਜੇ ਸਥਾਨ ’ਤੇ ਹਨ।

ਵਿਰੁਧ ਹੋਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਅਪਰਾਧਾਂ ਕਾਰਨ ਹਾਲ ਹੀ ’ਚ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਬਦਨਾਮ ਹੋ ਗਈ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ
ਕਾਰਨ 84 ਫ਼ੀ ਸਦੀ ਔਰਤਾਂ ਨੇ ਰਾਜਧਾਨੀ ਨੂੰ ਸੱਭ ਤੋਂ ਅਸੁਰੱਖਿਅਤ ਮਹਾਨਗਰ ਦਸਿਆ ਹੈ।
ਸਰਵੇਖਣ ’ਚ 64 ਫ਼ੀ ਸਦੀ ਔਰਤਾਂ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਦੇਸ਼ ’ਚ ਇਕੱਲਿਆਂ ਸਫ਼ਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਮੇਂ
ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਹੀ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਪੱਖੋਂ ਚਿੰਤਤ ਰਹਿੰਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ ਪਰ ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ਾਂ ਦੀ ਯਾਤਰਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਮੇਂ
ਅਜਿਹੀ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦੀ। ਸਿਰਫ਼ 6 ਫ਼ੀ ਸਦੀ ਔਰਤਾਂ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਜਦ ਉਹ ਇਕੱਲਿਆਂ
ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ ਯਾਤਰੀਆਂ ’ਤੇ ਜਾਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ ਤਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਫਿਕਰ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਹਾਲਾਂਕਿ 33
ਫ਼ੀ ਸਦੀ ਔਰਤਾਂ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਜਦ ਉਹ ਕਿਸੇ ਨਵੇਂ ਜਾਂ ਓਪਰੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਦੀ ਯਾਤਰਾ ਕਰਦੀਆਂ
ਹਨ ਤਾਂ ਸਵੈ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਲਈ ਕੁੱਝ ਸਾਮਾਨ (ਜਿਵੇਂ ਪੇਪਰ ਸਪਰੇਅ) ਅਪਣੇ ਕੋਲ ਰਖਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ।
37 ਫ਼ੀ ਸਦੀ ਔਰਤਾਂ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਕੱਲਿਆਂ ਸਫ਼ਰ ਕਰਨ ’ਚ ਕੋਈ ਮੁਸ਼ਕਲ ਨਹੀਂ
ਹੁੰਦੀ ਪਰ ਉਹ ਅਪਣੀ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਪ੍ਰਤੀ ਤਾਂ ਚਿੰਤਤ ਹੀ ਰਹਿੰਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਇਹ ਸਰਵੇਖਣ
ਕੰਮਕਾਜੀ ਔਰਤਾਂ ’ਤੇ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ’ਚ ਬਹੁਤੀਆਂ ਔਰਤਾਂ ਨਿਜੀ ਵਪਾਰ ਵੀ
ਕਰਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਘਰ ਦਾ ਕੰਮ-ਕਾਰ ਵੀ ਸੰਭਾਲਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ।
