Protect Workers

Many issues worry me. For one, I know that many women, especially single mothers, have to walk to and from work, or to and from the bus stops to get to work. Many of these women cannot afford cars of their own. Sometimes they work long hours and have to walk home after dark and even in the middle of the night.

That poses great risk. Of course, the women know it, but have little choice since they need to support themselves and often time support their family.

As a society, we can try to help by reducing poverty and single-parenting. Individually, we can help by offering to ride them or walk them to work. If you know a woman has to walk around alone at night, offer to walk with her.

What do you think?
