When it comes to attending to women’s safety concerns, the present policy instruments fail to include their aspirations.

The urban spaces have to be made safer for women by adopting an inclusive urban policy framework. Through the course of this research, gender mainstreaming has been identified as a viable policy strategy to drive the urban policy framework.
