Mobility is a major factor in access to
economic resources, education, health, and other key
elements influencing women's empowerment. In Middle
East and North African countries, like in many other
developing economies, women's mobility is constrained
not only by limited transport supply, but also by social
factors reducing women's access to the outside world as
well as political realities. The brief is a summary of three
studies that were implemented on gender and transport in the
region, two in Yemen and one in West Bank Gaza. The goal was
to better understand how transport infrastructure and
services are facilitating or constraining women's
access to resources, markets, training, information, and
employment. A key objective was also to identify priority
areas for public intervention to improve women's
mobility and enhance their access to economic empowerment. |
