Gendered Mobilities

Gendered mobilities refer to the different ways that men, women, and non-binary individuals experience and navigate movement, travel, and access to spaces. These differences arise from social, cultural, and economic factors that influence how genders interact with their environments. For example, women may face safety concerns that affect their travel choices, while men might have more freedom in moving in public spaces. Understanding gendered mobilities helps highlight inequalities and informs policies to create more inclusive and equitable transportation and urban planning solutions that address the distinct needs of all genders.
