SUMMARY:Women on the Move: Rethinking Urban Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Urban mobility is vital for everyone to participate in a city in all its dimensions. However, women often face unique challenges & constraints when it comes to mobility which can have a significant impact on their well-being, empowerment, and participation in various aspects of city life. Research around the world has shown that mobility & transport are experienced very differently by men & women. Travel patterns of women are usually more complex as they are defined by their caregiving roles, familial obligations as well as income generating activities.\nIn many parts of the world, women experience limited mobility due to several factors – fear & actual violence in public spaces and while riding or waiting for public transport, caregiving responsibilities, prevailing social & cultural norms and inadequate transport infrastructure and services. Unpaid care work and lack of safety are two significant barriers preventing women from getting into, remaining, and progressing in the labour force. ILO research shows that lack of safe access to transportation reduces women’s participation in the labour force by 16.5%.\nTraditionally, public transport systems have been planned and designed keeping in mind an average, able-bodied male. The needs of other user groups – women, children, elderly, and differently abled persons are seldom considered. To encourage women to fully participate and enjoy their right to the city, gender-inclusive and responsive public transport policies and systems are of utmost importance. The provision of safe, affordable, and efficient public transportation including intermediate public transport or informal modes will enable women to access opportunities of education, employment and even leisure without fear & hesitation.\nThis webinar aims to put forward the key mobility related challenges faced by women in cities and initiate conversations to advocate for change through innovative solutions, gender responsive transport planning & implementation.\n
