A little over 24 hours ago, 25-year-old Sania Bargi, who worked at a call centre in Bangalore, was found murdered on a national highway in Karnataka.

In December 2005, Pratibha Murthy, another call centre employee, was allegedly raped and killed by her vehicle driver. It happened, again, in Bangalore.

These incidents have raised concerns about the safety of women working in call centres. If you work at a call centre, in Bangalore or anywhere in India, tell us about your place of work -- do you think it is safe for women?
