Towards Mobility without Gender Barriers in Buenos Aires

Gender inequalities in the home and at work have become increasingly visible, documented, and addressed with policies and transformations attempting to achieve equity, both in public and private spaces. However, inequities in the transportation sector and the way people move around cities have only recently begun to be questioned. In recent years several studies made it possible to address mobility from a gender perspective. In 2016, the Buenos Aires City Government conducted a study that found that more than half of the cyclists using bike lanes were women, while almost all the cyclists outside the bike lanes were men. Realizing the need for additional data, we partnered with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and published a research paper titled “Women and Urban Cycling” (<a href="https://publications.iadb.org/es/mujeres-y-ciclismo-urbano-promoviendo-politicas-inclusivas-de-movilidad-en-america-latina" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Mujeres y Ciclismo Urbano</a>), which studied different patterns of mobility and the barriers resulting in fewer women cycling.  <a href="https://medium.com/vision-zero-cities-journal/towards-mobility-without-gender-barriers-in-buenos-aires-c1712717767f">Read More</a>
