This toolkit explores ways to unlock the potential of women within the global transport sector. It focuses on three critical areas including mobility, employment, and entrepreneurship across subsectors such as urban transport and aviation.

 

The study emphasizes the need to integrate a woman’s perspective into the design of transport systems to improve safety and accessibility. It highlights that security concerns act as major barriers, often pushing women to take lower paying jobs closer to home to avoid unsafe commutes.

 

To address these challenges, the toolkit recommends measures such as safety audits and the development of gender inclusive infrastructure. It also calls for merit based opportunities and the removal of professional barriers, including biased human resource policies.

 

Additional recommendations include setting up childcare facilities at workplaces and offering business training programs for women entrepreneurs. By building a more inclusive and competitive workforce, the transport sector can better serve the needs of all citizens.
