UK and US issue travel advisory for women visiting India: Should exercise caution
This growing number of crimes against women in India has resulted in countries like UK to issue a safety advisory for its women who are travelling to the country.
Recently, the UK government took to their website to publish a safety advice to be followed by travellers, especially women, in India.
In the advisory titled 'India Travel Advice', the government mentioned in the Safety and security sub-head that women travellers "should exercise caution when travelling in India even if travelling in a group."
The advisory suggests that women travellers in India are unsafe and at risk of getting assaulted, hence British women should exercise caution when in the country.
It also asked women to respect the local dress codes and customs, to avoid isolated areas when alone at any time of day, to avoid travelling alone in a public transport and to not leave drinks unattended.
