About this event
Uptake of public transport is unevenly distributed across society, with gender a strongly differentiating factor. The recently released TramLab Toolkits bring together pioneering research expertise in violence against women, gender, space and design, and technology-facilitated sexual violence and harassment to investigate the issues and factors impacting on safety and perceptions of safety for women and girls on Victorian public transport. The TramLab project is a collaborative project led by La Trobe University, with partners at Monash University’s XYX Lab and at RMIT.
Associate Professor Nicole Kalms will outline:
- The research outcomes
- Approach to the design of the toolkits
- The content of the toolkits and how that can be applied in practice
More about the Tramlab Toolkits
The research undertaken in TramLab found that the issues and factors impacting on safety and perceptions of safety for women and girls on Victorian public transport are as complex as those found in transport environments elsewhere in the world. Despite the fact that women’s use and experience of public transport is different from men’s, their use and their experience (dominated by fear for their safety) are seldom considered.
These factors generate a complex situation for which there are no simple solutions. International research confirms that no stand-alone single initiative is sufficient. Instead, multi-faceted and coordinated packages of complementary initiatives and interventions are required.
- Toolkit 1 lays out the steps for developing gender-sensitive communication campaigns.
- Toolkit 2 details the process for engaging gender-sensitive placemaking to enhance safety for women.
- Toolkit 3 details the steps for gathering gender-sensitive data for transport spaces.
- Toolkit 4 outlines the implementation of gender-sensitive training for public transport service providers and aligned security staff.
The aim of these toolkits is to provide a framework and practical steps to help make public transport safer for women and girls, providing stakeholders with direction about how to reduce their fear and risk.
Nicole Kalms | Associate Professor, Faculty of Art Design and Architecture founding director of the Monash University XYX Lab
Nicole is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Art Design and Architecture founding director of the Monash University XYX Lab. Kalms is the research co-ordinator of the TramLab project. As director of the XYX lab Kalms leads national and international research in Gender and Place. The innovation of Kalms’ research is the examination of digital, experiential, political and material interventions collated to articulate both the shared and conflicted struggles of women and girls internationally. Her praxis repositions design as a strategic tool for challenging gender inequity. Her recent research has focused on public transport spaces for women and girls, gender-sensitive CPTED and the use of participatory co-design to challenge gender-neutral urban policy.
