I watched a video of a man travelling in a wagon full of women and all of them were beating him furiously. I got curious and here is what I found :
An interesting type of services becomes more and more popular in India, Japan and Indonesia – women only trains. Obviously, the women in these countries like and value very high their private space, because after the eve-floors, now they have eve- trains.
The whole idea behind this, is that the sexual harassment is a serious problem there, so the women decided that they want to feel comfortable at least for their travel to work. That is why the transport companies secured them with a special wagon and sometimes whole trains which can be used only by women. This way, they do not have to worry that some men will stay next to them in the crowded train and will make them feel uncomfortable.
The first train of such type was introduced in 1995 and since then their number had become very big.
However, if you think that this is some kind of exception, you are wrong. Similar trains can be seen in Japan and Indonesia too. Till 1977 such train was travelling in England too, so obviously the idea is not new.
