Using a mixed-methods approach including surveys and in-depth interviews the research investigates the prevalence of specific fears such as safety concerns career pressures and health anxieties and examines the influence of entrenched social dogmas on these fears.

Findings reveal that urban women often navigate a landscape of conflicting expectations and pressures which are both a reflection of and a reaction to the broader socio-cultural environment. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers and mental health professionals to address the unique challenges faced by urban women emphasizing the need for supportive frameworks and targeted interventions.
