Introduction to female mobility patterns around the world. Differences between man and women and the main features in each continent
By the 1970s, some transportation planners were beginning to recognize the mobility needs of population subgroups. From then, several researchers, from a variety of fields have shown the differences in mobility patterns between women and men. Men primarily commute to and from work. Women’s mobility is mostly related to the “mobility of care” . We will see that in Africa walking is the dominant mode of transportation in cities. In Asia female mobility is influenced by patriarchal social practices. In Latin America men have a dominant role and actions are taken to avoid violence and sexual harassment. In Europe gender differences exist, as for example, women use more public transportation and walking than men.
These facts will be supported by figures and some conclusions that show the reality of these differences.
The attendees will know the principal characteristics of women mobility patterns around the world. The attendees will learn to recognize the principal differences of mobility between men and women
