Social Media Experiments Explore Women's Nighttime Safety in Ahmedabad and Ajmer
Two social media experiments tested women's safety at night in Indian cities. In Ahmedabad, a woman content creator ventured out alone and reported feeling safe, noting respectful behavior from passersby and drivers. Conversely, in Ajmer, a male creator dressed as a woman experienced uncomfortable encounters, including unwanted attention and following, concluding women may not feel safe there after dark. Both videos sparked online discussions on women's safety in public spaces at night.
