The first global hub on feminist transport and mobility
The Global Alliance for Feminist Transport connects and empowers organizations, networks and individuals working towards gender-equitable transport systems worldwide.
Our shared vision is to act as the leading voice on feminist sustainable transport by providing a spotlight on who, how and what are moving our cities towards greater gender equity in transport and mobility.
Our founding networks:
Why sustainable transport should be feminist
A feminist transport system works for everyone and is an important driver for the realization of gender equality, as it can determine access to essential services like health care, education, employment, as well as social and political life.
Gender equity in transport and mobility is not a niche issue.
Women and gender minorities face both contextual and similar barriers upheld by persisting structures that have shaped our transport systems.
“A feminist transport system is not necessarily about women or gender – it’s about human rights. It’s about how fairly we treat people. By not designing in a feminist way, you are not just shutting women out, you’re excluding the whole of society who do not meet the profile of the average male commuter.”
Anuela Ristani – Deputy Mayor of Tirana, Albania
“[A feminist transport system] empowers a pregnant woman, a mother, a single woman or group of young teenage girls to navigate the city without fear or favor… It does not trap, impoverish, or objectify them. It does not force them to craft creative modes of survival to keep themselves and their children safe, to avoid being harassed.”
Cyprine Odada – Executive Director, Critical Mass Nairobi
