Justice and Public Safety

The prevalence of gender-based violence often impacts how those, most vulnerable to such forms of violence, access public spaces. The possibility of being subjected to such violence can determine where we go, the time at which we go and whom we interact with. In this episode, we sit with Sneha Visakha, Research Fellow at Vidhi Center for Legal Policy to discuss what feminist urbanism means, the relationship between notions of safety and justice, and how we can relook at our infrastructure to improve access to safety and justice for survivors of gender based violence.
