Gender and Road Safety - Intersectional Approaches Training Course

Gender and Road Safety - Intersectional Approaches Training Course.

Introduction

Road safety remains a critical public health and social challenge worldwide, with disproportionate impacts on women, children, people with disabilities, and marginalized communities. Understanding these disparities requires an intersectional approach that integrates gender, socioeconomic status, disability, and urban planning perspectives into transport safety strategies. Gender and Road Safety - Intersectional Approaches Training Course equips professionals with the tools, frameworks, and evidence-based practices needed to analyze and address road safety challenges through a gender-responsive and inclusive lens. Participants will engage with real-world case studies, data-driven insights, and policy interventions to foster safer, equitable mobility for all.

Through this training, participants will develop competencies in gender mainstreaming, participatory planning, risk assessment, and advocacy in the context of road safety. The course emphasizes innovative strategies, sustainable interventions, and community-driven solutions to reduce fatalities and injuries on roads while promoting social equity. By combining research, policy analysis, and practical tools, this program empowers stakeholders from policymakers to urban planners and transport engineers to implement transformative road safety solutions that consider the lived experiences of diverse populations.
