Gender and Mobility

Gender and mobility refer to how gender identities and roles influence people’s movement and access to transportation. Societal expectations and safety concerns can affect where, when, and how individuals, especially women and marginalized genders, navigate spaces. For example, women may face barriers like safety hazards, cultural restrictions, or limited transportation options, which can restrict their physical movement and opportunities. Understanding these factors helps identify inequalities and develop more inclusive, accessible transportation systems that accommodate diverse needs and promote equitable mobility for all genders.
