Are India’s Cities Any More Safe Today for Women and GirlsBy .docx
Are India’s Cities Any More Safe Today for Women and Girls?
By Sarah Degnan Kambou
NOAH SEELAM VIA GETTY IMAGES
Recently, a journalist called India’s politics “too violent for women,” citing the fact that only eight percent of last month’s electoral candidates were women. Women’s rights advocates acknowledged that the threat of rape and harassment likely contributed to women staying out of politics.
The sad truth is that the political sphere is just one of the many places in India that women find dangerous. Just last week, we heard news that two young girls in a rural village were gang-raped then hanged from a tree. Another news story reported that four 16 to 17-year-old girls were attacked and sexually assaulted in a rural village in Haryana State. These brutal assaults are just two that made the headlines in a week’s time.
Girls in villages across India are at risk of sexual assault. And India’s cities aren’t any safer for women and girls.
In late 2012, shortly before the now-infamous fatal gang rape of the New Delhi woman who was riding a bus with her fiancé, ICRW conducted a study to understand just how safe — or unsafe — Delhi’s women and girls felt in the city’s public spaces. Nearly two years later, ICRW is striving to go back to see what, if anything, has improved or changed in women and girls’ feeling about safety in public spaces.
What we found back in 2012, simply by asking men and women to share their experience, was eye opening.
From the streets to bus stops, to crowded market places, women surveyed told us that they don’t feel safe in public, and half of men surveyed told us that they, at some point, have engaged in sexual aggression, with many respondents saying that women are ultimately responsible if they are sexually harassed or assaulted.
Again, this research was collected weeks before the gang rape, indicating that Delhi’s women and girls were already well aware that the public spaces which they pass through every day were unsafe — and that an attack that would rock India and catch the world’s attention was, unfortunately, likely to happen sooner rather than later.
When surveyed, only five percent of respondents told our researchers that they feel “safe” or “very safe” in New Delhi’s public spaces. And 73 percent of respondents said that women and girls face sexual aggression in their own neighborhoods. Additionally, 63 percent of women said they are fearful when they go out after dark, and more than 20 percent say they avoid going outside alone altogether, for fear of violence. That’s one in every five women who often choose not to engage in public life because they fear for their safety.
Research shows that both fear and actual experience of sexual violence in the public realm have a profound impact on women and girls’ daily routines, lifestyle and their emotional and physical health.
Since the world’s attention turned to India after this horrific attack in 2012, the government has taken some important steps to.

This document summarizes a master's thesis that explored how Twitter was used to empower women and mobilize resources in support of the Enlightenment Movement in Afghanistan. The research examined how educated women on Twitter helped form the movement, which protested discrimination against the Hazara ethnic group. Key findings included that Twitter campaigns spread the movement's messages and connected over 2 million people, while facing censorship from the Afghan government. Women strongly supported the movement through protests and solidarity, despite threats from security forces and an attack by ISIS that killed many protesters. Overall, the study found Twitter was vital for empowering women and mobilizing support for the nonviolent social movement.

Are India’s Cities Any More Safe Today for Women and Girls?
By Sarah Degnan Kambou
NOAH SEELAM VIA GETTY IMAGES
Recently, a journalist called India’s politics “too violent for women,” citing the fact that only eight percent of last month’s electoral candidates were women. Women’s rights advocates acknowledged that the threat of rape and harassment likely contributed to women staying out of politics.
The sad truth is that the political sphere is just one of the many places in India that women find dangerous. Just last week, we heard news that two young girls in a rural village were gang-raped then hanged from a tree. Another news story reported that four 16 to 17-year-old girls were attacked and sexually assaulted in a rural village in Haryana State. These brutal assaults are just two that made the headlines in a week’s time.
Girls in villages across India are at risk of sexual assault. And India’s cities aren’t any safer for women and girls.
In late 2012, shortly before the now-infamous fatal gang rape of the New Delhi woman who was riding a bus with her fiancé, ICRW conducted a study to understand just how safe — or unsafe — Delhi’s women and girls felt in the city’s public spaces. Nearly two years later, ICRW is striving to go back to see what, if anything, has improved or changed in women and girls’ feeling about safety in public spaces.
What we found back in 2012, simply by asking men and women to share their experience, was eye opening.
From the streets to bus stops, to crowded market places, women surveyed told us that they don’t feel safe in public, and half of men surveyed told us that they, at some point, have engaged in sexual aggression, with many respondents saying that women are ultimately responsible if they are sexually harassed or assaulted.
Again, this research was collected weeks before the gang rape, indicating that Delhi’s women and girls were already well aware that the public spaces which they pass through every day were unsafe — and that an attack that would rock India and catch the world’s attention was, unfortunately, likely to happen sooner rather than later.
When surveyed, only five percent of respondents told our researchers that they feel “safe” or “very safe” in New Delhi’s public spaces. And 73 percent of respondents said that women and girls face sexual aggression in their own neighborhoods. Additionally, 63 percent of women said they are fearful when they go out after dark, and more than 20 percent say they avoid going outside alone altogether, for fear of violence. That’s one in every five women who often choose not to engage in public life because they fear for their safety.
Research shows that both fear and actual experience of sexual violence in the public realm have a profound impact on women and girls’ daily routines, lifestyle and their emotional and physical health.
Since the world’s attention turned to India after this horrific attack in 2012, the government has taken some important steps to.

This document summarizes a master's thesis that explored how Twitter was used to empower women and mobilize resources in support of the Enlightenment Movement in Afghanistan. The research examined how educated women on Twitter helped form the movement, which protested discrimination against the Hazara ethnic group. Key findings included that Twitter campaigns spread the movement's messages and connected over 2 million people, while facing censorship from the Afghan government. Women strongly supported the movement through protests and solidarity, despite threats from security forces and an attack by ISIS that killed many protesters. Overall, the study found Twitter was vital for empowering women and mobilizing support for the nonviolent social movement.

Women and City II
This document summarizes the key findings of a study conducted by ActionAid in 6 countries on the links between violence against women and lack of access to public services in urban areas. The study found that women face significant challenges in accessing basic services such as transportation, housing, electricity, water and healthcare. It also found that sexual harassment is prevalent in public spaces. While governments have policies promoting gender equality and access to services, implementation is lacking, especially for poor communities. As a result, women often rely on inadequate or makeshift access to services.

Social media is challenging traditional media in some ways but traditional media still retains its position due to some advantages. While social media allows two-way communication and is popular among young people, traditional media is seen as more credible. Interviews with teachers, journalists, and IT experts showed differing views with younger people supporting social media more, while older individuals supported traditional media. Both media types play important roles and combining their strengths could benefit both. Government policy aims to ensure effective social media use while protecting security, and restricting content that damages unity or religious feelings.Similar to Research on Women Safety at Public Places (7)
