Gender Sensitive Public Transport Services (September 2025)

Survey on Gender Sensitive Public Transport 

During June and July 2025, in collaboration with the University of Hong Kong, Professor  Anthony Yeh, Department of Urban Planning and Design; Professor Dorothy Chan of the  Centre and Ms. Vicky Koo of WiLAT pull together resources from 23 WiLAT chapters to  respond to a questionnaire highlighting challenges women face in using public transport  services. The report Gender Sensitive Public Transport Services provides insights into the  difficulties  encountered  by  women  in  different  places.  The  survey recommended  safety  measures as well as mobile/smart app usage which could help in security enhancement.  

Professor Anthony Yeh and Dr Si Qiao presented the key findings and recommendations during  the WiALT Global Workshop at the International Convention of CILT in Colombo, Sri Lanka  on 14 September 2025. As part of the report, they introduced the Women-Friendly Public  Transport Toolkit and received support for action.
