Gender Disparities in Mobility

Gender disparities in mobility refer to differences between men and women in how easily and frequently they can move around, access transportation, or travel. These gaps often arise from social, economic, and cultural factors, such as income inequality, safety concerns, caregiving responsibilities, or limited infrastructure that addresses women’s needs. As a result, women may face more obstacles to mobility, which can affect their employment opportunities, social participation, and overall well-being. Addressing these disparities requires recognizing barriers specific to gender and implementing inclusive transportation policies and infrastructure.
