Tackling discrimination against women workers in the transport sector is the first step to implement a mobility model that fully fits women, Leila Chaibi says.

Sabine Trier @ETF_Europe Deputy General Secretary on their campaign #GetMEHomeSafely:
"A lack of safe commuting options is not only a violation of women's rights but also a significant barrier to attracting and retaining women in the transport industry."

Catarina Cardoso, Member of the Portuguese Railways Workers’ Committee: We are still a public company! We will fight to continue this way for the sustainable railway mobility that the population deserves & the environment demands because there is no railroad without rail workers.

We have to talk about gender equity beyond the 'vulnerable users' paradigm. Women constitute 50% of transport users, at the same time, 'women' are a diverse group, with intersectional experiences as transport users, workers and decision makers, Isobel Duxfield @POLISnetwork says.

Mobility is at the ❤️of societies' development - a cohesive, egalitarian and safe one. Ensuring equal rights, recognizing the specific claim of women workers in transportation & overcoming the constraints for safe transport use are central to a progressive & emancipatory policy.

Greek streets were not designed by women. If they had, they'd have room for our children to walk to school and ramps for grandma's wheelchair.
They wouldn't be the killing fields they are now.
We are determined to fix that!

Transport systems often overlook women's needs in design & employment. Maria Chiara Leva @WeAreTUDublin explains the DIAMOND project that uses data mining & elicitation techniques to gather stakeholder insights and create a fair and inclusive transport system.

Designing and planning public transport considering affordability, availability, and sustainability is also an environmental issue. Counteracting climate change by reducing CO2 emissions is a priority, but the most vulnerable groups should not bear its costs.

Policymakers have ignored the needs of women in #Transportation – both as users and as workers - for far too long.

We must target gender discrimination to redesign transport planning & policies. That goes hand in hand with #sustainability.
