This International Women's Day, we are shining a light on how cities worldwide serve—or fail to serve—women and girls after dark. Mobility is a fundamental right, shaping access to education, employment, healthcare, culture, and beyond. Yet, cities are often designed without fully considering the needs and safety of women AfterDark.

We invite you to take part in our survey, either before or after your journey, to help us gather crucial insights. Your input will contribute to a broader effort to push for gender-inclusive urban planning. Once responses are collected, we will share the findings publicly and advocate for tangible policy changes to make cities safer and more accessible for women and girls.

Your voice matters, let’s shape the future of our cities together!

Women After Dark©is an ongoing research project by The Gendered City, now expanding globally in collaboration with FEM.DES.
