The mobility patterns of women are quite different to men as are the challenges women face in terms of access, comfort and safety. These observations emerged during a workshop titled ‘Mobility from the lens of gender: case study Karachi’ arranged by Shehri-Citizens for a Better Environment (CBE) on Tuesday.
“Sometimes when my father would be out of town or he couldn’t be there to drop me off to college, I would take the bus in which there was this women’s enclosure with bars in the front portion where no male would enter,” said Amra Javed of Shehri during her welcome address.
