81% of northeast women harassed in Delhi: Survey

Sixty percent of women, who have migrated from northeast India to the four metros — Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bangalore – have reported harassment and unfair discrimination on a daily basis, says a recent survey.

While 23% of respondents said they have been harassed by landlords, 42% said they faced verbal abuse. A total of 26% reported heckling and molestation. Alarmingly, there seems to be little trust in police as 80% of those who were harassed did not approach them. But those who did didn’t have a good experience.
