Women in Cities International - India, Argentina, Russia and Tanzania (UN Trust Fund grantee)

The rapid pace of urbanization throughout the world presents new opportunities for people to build their homes and lives -- but urban spaces also sharpen existing inequalities and create new ones. For women, fear of violence has emerged as a significant barrier to their mobility and well-being in cities. Working in four cities on four continents --Delhi in India; Petrozavodsk in Russia; Rosario in Argentina; and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania -- Women in Cities International identifies effective policies, tools and strategies to build safer cities for women to live, move around and work in.
