Sustainable Mobility for All from a gender perspective

About this video

Muneeza Mehmood Alam explains the work of the World Bank to advance Sustainable Mobility for All and specifically the gender aspects of transportation. The main issues are women as transport users, as transport workers, as decision makers, and recipients of possible benefits of transport infrastructure. At present there is no single global indicator to measure use of transport by women. Women’s mobility patters are known to be different from men. Legislation on sexual harassment in public spheres is rare. Some economies impose restrictions on women’s employment in transport sector. The WB is piloting the Global Roadmap of Action in different countries to make progress on SuM4All.
