The Factories Act, 1948 aims to protect workers, including women, from exploitation. It prohibits the employment of women and children near dangerous machines like cotton-openers. It also sets limits on maximum weights that can be lifted by men, women, and children. The Act mandates that factories with more than 30 women workers must provide crèche facilities for children under age 6. The Act further regulates working hours and grants annual paid leave to women workers.
