Factory Act 1948 was amended by Goa government to allow women to work in night shifts. In 13 Indian states, women can only be employed for night-shifts if their employers comply with a set of conditions mandated under their Shops and Establishments Acts. These conditions are levied to ensure safety, health, and 'adequate protection of privacy, dignity and honour' of the woman employees.
