Though we have problems and hardships in every profession, but some professions linked with woman causes a number of problems which are not commonly faced by men in our society. Being a bus conductor in today’s society is not very simple, and it is regarded as not a work that women should be doing but still women are managing and taking up this profession and handling it very efficiently.
Some research has shown that 47% of the woman faces occupational problems but 46% have denied the problems and regarded family and depression as problems. The job of a bus conductor is not a smooth ride it includes a lot of long rides along with standing for hours and doing work along with running the house and family. Because of all this woman are not being able to have quality time with their family and friends. Some women are depth in constant depression to do the complete duties she has been assigned.
Musculoskeletal pain In the knees, legs,thigh and palm/fingers in the wrist are more common problems of woman bus conductors. Also, there’s not enough time for them to rest and recover from such pains ultimately it causes a bigger health issue after sometimes.
The naysayers and eve teasers brings their morale down and the negative stance over their professions makes them feel low, and sometimes they even think to quit the job.
To decrease the hardships of women bus conductors we need to make more resources for their personal hygiene and make them feel secure.
Also in the days of menstrual cycle women faces issues to maintain personal hygiene. This is the most tough times for them to be in proper coordination with their job.
Concluding it by wholeheartedly accepting above take on women bus conductors until we don’t have the specific alternatives for the problems.
