Safe and Friendly Cities for All
Loading...
Uploaded by UNWomen on Jun 22, 2011
More than half of the world's population — approximately 3.4 billion people — live in cities today. This number is projected to increase to 69 percent by 2050. With this rapid urbanization come increased risks for the citizens of urban areas, especially women and children. Currently, one billion people are living in urban slums and are denied basic human rights, such as access to safe housing and reliable health services.
UNICEF, UN-HABITAT and UN Women have launched a five-year programme, "Safe and Friendly Cities for All," that aims at making women and children feel safer in their local neighbourhoods, while improving their quality of life.
The new partnership will address these challenges by supporting a variety of initiatives in the participating cities. By working with local authorities and organizations on the ground, women and young people will be able to identify those areas in their neighbourhood where they feel most at risk, and find solutions together.

We Women Want Safe Citiesby AdvProject820 views
I live in the city, and i never feel safe while going out. I should always look behind to see if there is a suspicious person, because most of the women and children here are victims of sexual harassment and agressivity.
