Continuous and widespread Violence Against Women (VAW) in urban India highlights the challenge of delivering SDGs 5 and 11 – Gender Equality and Sustainable Cities and Communities. Combined with this is an acute information and skills gap in technology use amongst urban poor women that impedes their knowledgeable and empowered engagement with urban infrastructures.
This project will take a rights-based approach to the challenge: How to address VAW by improving women’s knowledge of, and safe access to, urban infrastructure in the Indian city.
