[Abe.kth.se_sakraplatseruserlist] TedEx talk women & technology and happy 2019!

[Mangai Natarajan]

Dear Vania: Excellent job of communicating the concepts  behind the travel safety for women at large. Congratulations!

One thing I would like to mention here is the transformation of safety and design will still need to take into account of cultural context. I still speak to women ( girls, young  and older women)  in India ( the perception may be different from city to city!) who reserve their seats in ladies only compartments and travel in ladies only buses. Though they are aware of female criminals pick pocketing and gold chain cutting etc, in those buses and trains, they still prefer those "segregated setup" to avoid the sexual encounters while traveling. it may be a segregation- but the "safety"  overpowers the security in their minds!. The security (free from harm) vs safety (protection from a particularity situation) -here is where the CPTED and SCP could surface in dealing with women's safety.

Attached you will find a photo of ladies compartment in a commuter train in Chennai, India- I traveled in the same train to observe and sense the "safety" vs "security" !

Happy New Year.
Best
Mangai

Dear colleagues
I have recently participated in a TedEx talk session here in Stockholm. Very scary experience. I did try to spell out some of the basic ideas that we always share and discuss in our user lists in the Transit crime network and Safeplaces network. Thanks for your input to the discussions and for your collaboration over the years.

Here is the link:

I take this opportunity to thank you all and wish you a happy 2019 wherever you may be.

Best wishes
Vania
