Pune did not disappoint!
Women think so much before heading out of their houses late at night. Women feel comfortable only if they are accompanied by a man or if they are in a group. It’s sad that many cities in India fail to provide women the safety and confidence to step out at any time of the day. In the latest episode of 2 AM Stories, the Hauterrfly team stepped out to see how safe the city of Pune is for girls at night. She also has conversations with many female college students, lady police officer and some men on how safe Pune is for women.
