A study has revealed that cameras and drones in Corbett National Park, originally intended for wildlife monitoring, are being misused to surveil local women without their consent. Forest rangers have used drones to intimidate women, discouraging them from collecting natural resources. The study, conducted by the University of Cambridge, highlights the negative impact on women's behavior, causing them to act more quietly, increasing their risk of encounters with dangerous animals. Researchers warn that surveillance technologies are inadvertently reinforcing patriarchal control over women, while also compromising their safety and mental well-being.
