Urban mobility plays a crucial role in connecting residents to jobs, education, healthcare and social opportunities, shaping their everyday lives. Transport systems and services must be planned and delivered in an inclusive and equitable manner, to meet the diverse needs of all users, including women, children, the elderly and those with limited mobility.

Why Gender-Responsive Mobility?
Urban transport systems today largely are predominantly designed to facilitate workplace commutes for formal workers, often overlooking the diverse mobility needs of home-based or informal workers, caregivers, low-income households, and others. Women are disproportionately represented among these underserved groups, with research highlighting unique characteristics of their mobility patterns.
Trip chaining
The need to combine multiple short care-related trips often leads to longer travel times and increased costs.
Safety Risks
Persistent threats of harassment in public spaces and while using transit systems.
Limited Accessibility
Time poverty caused by unreliable transportation services and limited access to diverse mobility options.
Infrastructure Barriers
Inadequate inclusive facilities like public toilets and the financial burden of choosing safer, yet costlier, travel options.
