My wife is an IIM graduate working for a large telecom company in Delhi. Despite a good salary, she’s often required to travel around the city for work, without any transport support from her company. Her manager doesn’t seem concerned about her safety or flexible timings. She’s considering leaving her job. Is there a law in India that requires companies to ensure the safety of women employees during work-related travel?

While there is no specific law mandating companies to provide transport or ensure safety during work-related travel, Indian laws emphasize the employer’s responsibility for the safety of their employees, especially women. Your wife could explore filing a complaint with the concerned authorities under various laws like the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, or the Indian Penal Code.
