Gender Violence in Urban Spaces

Gender violence in urban spaces refers to harmful acts like harassment, assault, or discrimination directed primarily at individuals based on their gender within city environments. It often involves safety concerns for women, LGBTQ+ persons, and marginalized groups, influenced by factors such as crowded settings, lack of safe infrastructure, and social norms. This violence impacts people’s freedom to move freely and enjoy city life, reinforcing inequalities and fear. Addressing it requires improved urban planning, enforcement of laws, and community awareness to create safer, inclusive public spaces for everyone.
