Freedom of movement is a human right. However, sexual harassment and assault threats, inaccessible roads and vehicles, and environmental hazards are barriers to transportation that women and other vulnerable road users face daily. As African cities grow, we must ensure safe, clean and accessible public transportation for everyone!

The Third Annual Women in Transport African Conference, titled ‘Paving the Way for a More Inclusive and Equitable Public Transport System in Africa’, sought to reiterate the importance of creating a more inclusive public transport system in Africa. The idea is to take stock of what has been accomplished and explore translating research into practice.

The conference seeks to bridge the gap between research and policy initiatives on urban planning, public safety and gender-based violence issues and the real-world challenges facing women currently working in the transportation sector.
