Gender Inequality

Which cities have the most dangerous transport systems for women?

Passengers stand in a packed public bus in downtown Lima, March 15, 2014. Bogota and two other Latin American capitals - Mexico City, and Lima in Peru - were named as the three capitals with the least safe transport systems for women in the Thomson Reuters Foundation poll of more than 6,550 women and gender and city planning experts. Women in Latin America say they face a wide range of daily threats on public transport, and not enough is done to ensure their safety. Picture taken March 15, 2014
