Abstract

Traditionally women have been denied participation in public life in Bangladesh due to restrictions on their mobility. Poverty, patriarchy and inequality are core reasons for restricted mobility; the most obvious is that more women than men do not own or drive cars, and they rely more on public transport. However, public transport is not available in many regions or at night, and women’s fear of crime is high.
