An Indian woman living in New Zealand has praised the country’s work culture and public safety, saying women there are able to take up all kinds of jobs with confidence and dignity, according to Hindustan Times.
In a video shared on Instagram, Dolly Prajapati spoke about how women in New Zealand are seen working across a wide range of professions, from driving heavy vehicles to managing traffic during road construction projects.
Woman Praises New Zealand’s Work Culture
According to Hindustan Times, Prajapati highlighted the confidence with which women perform different jobs in New Zealand, attributing it to a culture that respects all forms of work and promotes gender equality.
In the video, Prajapati said, "In New Zealand, women confidently do every kind of work without any hesitation, whether it's driving massive trucks, working at construction sites, or sitting by the roadside monitoring roadwork and managing traffic control.
They have this level of self-confidence because, first of all, people here do not look down on any job as small or judge it. Secondly, and most importantly, passersby do not unnecessarily stare at or scan women from head to toe."
As reported by Hindustan Times, her observations resonated with many viewers who appreciated the emphasis on dignity, respect and equal opportunities in the workplace.
Strict Laws and Public Safety
Prajapati further credited New Zealand’s strict laws and safe public environment for empowering women to work without fear.
She said, "Issues like passing comments, harassment, or stalking are almost non-existent here. Even if someone does attempt such behavior, there are strict laws in place that lead directly to imprisonment. This is exactly why women are able to work here openly and without fear.
As you can see, roadwork is going on both sides of the street. This woman has been given the responsibility of standing right in the middle of the road to manage traffic control, and she is executing her duty with absolute honesty and confidence, completely free of any fear or hesitation. In this country, jobs like these are highly respected, and they offer great hourly pay as well."
According to Hindustan Times, the video was shared with the caption, “Safety is the biggest strength of women in New Zealand,” highlighting the role of security and social respect in enabling women to participate fully in the workforce.
Internet Reacts to the Video
The clip has attracted attention on social media, with many users agreeing with Prajapati’s perspective on women’s empowerment and workplace equality.
Hindustan Times reported that one user commented, “This is what real women empowerment looks like.” Another wrote, “Respect for every job is what makes a society better.” A third user added, “Safety and dignity can change everything for women.”
The video has sparked broader discussions online about workplace respect, public safety and the importance of creating environments where women can pursue any profession without fear of judgment, harassment or discrimination.
