To protect women from harassment, the Uttar Pradesh State Women's Commission has proposed that male tailors should not be allowed to measure women's clothes or male workers in salons should cut women's hair. This proposal was raised in a meeting of the State Women's Commission on the safety and security of women on October 28.

Indian news agency PTI reported this information in a report on Friday (November 8).

Himani Aggarwal, a member of the women's organization, said that in the women's commission meeting on October 28, a proposal was made that only women tailors would take measurements of women's clothes and that CCTV should be installed in these places.

He said the state women's commission chairperson Babita Chauhan raised the proposal and the members present in the meeting supported it.

Agarwal said, "We have also said that only women staff should serve women customers in salons.

He also said, we think that women are molested because men are involved in such professions. They (men) try to touch women badly.

Babita Chauhan said that so far only one proposal has been made and the women's commission will later request the state government to enact a law in this regard.
