It’s amatter of priorities, and, currently, whether unthinkingly or not, we just aren’t prioritising women. This ismanifestly unjust, and economically illiterate. Women have an equal right to public resources: we must stopexcluding them by design.
I really like the emphasize on priorities. I think people often just assume that once we give men and women equal resources, then there won't be any gender gaps. But we are overlooking the fact that women cannot use those resources as freely as men by design.
A 2016 article in the asking why we aren’t designing cities ‘that workGuardianfor women, not just men’ cautions that the limited number of urban datasets ‘that track and trend data ongender make it hard to develop infrastructure programmes that factor in women’s needs’
But why isn't the data not collected if they are so important? I wonder if it's because the women are not involved in the decision-making process.
a 2017 study found that ‘around 90% ofpeople who experience unwanted sexual behaviour would not report it’
I wonder if the under-reporting is due to victim's fear or is it more of lack of effective policing systems. I also wonder how they found the data on how many victims did not file a report.
And so, explains Kail, officials designed the housing complex58Frauen-Werk-Stadt I (Women-Work-City I – there has since been a II and a III) to cater for women’s caringneeds.
It was interesting to see when women are involved with the policy-making process, the gender bias seem to be minimized as a result. Having a diverse spectrum of opinions also contribute to better design outcome.
