Online Webinar
Towards safer mobility:
addressing violence in public transportation
24 April 2025
11:00 – 12:15 CET
How can public transportation become safer and more inclusive for everyone, particularly for women and marginalised communities? What are the most effective strategies to address gender-based violence in mobility systems?
Safe public transport is key to an inclusive green transition. Yet, violence remains widespread, disproportionately affecting women, vulnerable groups, and transport staff.
In this webinar we will discuss concrete measures to enhance public transport safety for both workers and passengers, with insights and recommendations stemming from the new ACCTING Factsheet “Towards Safer Mobility: A holistic approach to tackling violence in public transportation”.
What to expect
- A discussion on how violence in public transport disproportionately affects women, transport workers and marginalised communities and why addressing these challenges is crucial.
- Insights into the UniSAFE 7P Model, focusing on prevention, protection and partnerships to tackle gender-based violence in mobility systems.
- Better Stories from across Europe showcasing successful initiatives that have improved public transport safety for workers and passengers alike.
This session is particularly relevant for policymakers, transport operators, urban planners, NGOs working on mobility and safety and anyone interested in the topic.
