Understanding and Addressing Violence Against Women and Girls in Public Transportation in Dar Es Salaam

Violence against women (VAW) violates women's rights to live in freedom and safety, and negatively affects their health and wellbeing. VAW is understudied in public transport, where it affects women's right to move -- to commute, look for jobs, access healthcare and education -- and thus their occupational choices and socioeconomic outcomes. Yet we know relatively little about the nature and extent of VAW in public transport, or what kinds of interventions could work to tackle it.
