FOR most women, going out of the house requires a lot of planning. From crowded streets and public transport to workplaces, the challenges that women face in staying safe are constant and exhausting. Citizens now call for women’s safety on the road and in public spaces. Everyone wants change. Women want to walk without the fear of being harassed or attacked.
There might be debates on the ways to measure how safe and liveable a city is, but there are certainly some indicators that are pretty reliable to measure whether a city is safe and liveable for its residents. For example, if a woman can walk alone and safely at night along a city road, it indicates that the city is safe in some respects — there is personal security for residents.
