Taxi Violence
 
(2)
 
 

Thursday 4 December 2008

Safety on public transport is a vital part achieving gender equality. Sexual assault is closely linked to HIV, safe transport helps keep girls in school, and workers need public transport for employment opportunities. As such, increased attention and action to put in place strategies to protect women and girls on public transport is urgent.  Women across the region, and worldwide, recount experiences of gender violence both in private and public spaces, everywhere from schools to shops, and on public transport.
