This report from the World Bank’s Sustainable Urban Mobility for All (SUM4All) gender working group was the results of pioneering research undertaken by POLIS & Heather Allen and funded by FIA Foundation, which examined existing data and conducted in-depth interviews and polling to build a comprehensive global snapshot of lived experiences of women working in the transport sector.

Adolescent girls’ journeys to access sexual health services in four countries across Africa are often expensive, dangerous, and inaccessible. This report from Girl Effect identifies the key changes needed to improve equitable access.

At a time when an increased uptake of sustainable mobility is vital for climate, health and air quality reasons, this report examines why women in Nairobi, Kenya are less keen than men to cycle.

Why is adopting a gender-based analysis necessary when considering decarbonising transport policies? How can we strengthen awareness of the gender, transport and climate change policy nexus? What role do governments play? This report examines the linkages between gender equality, transport and climate change to help develop policies that can achieve both gender equality and decarbonising transport goals by 2050. It provides guiding principles with specific actions to help countries and companies align their gender equality and decarbonising transport goals.

This report reviews the state of play in terms of transport data, and the gaps in our knowledge about women’s transport behaviours, as reported in a survey of over 140 transport professionals.

The FIA Foundation partnered with Safetipin to build a picture of how adolescent girls make their journeys. The study uses innovative technology, supported by discussions with local women, to understand how their experiences and behaviours are shaped by the physical and social framework in which they live.
