| dc.description.notes | "The crime of sexual violence in the New York City subway has proven difficult to combat, and is even on the rise, despite attempts to raise awareness of this issue by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the New York City Police Department (NYPD), and various activist organizations. Women and girls, who represent 60% of the ridership, have been subjected to offenses that range in severity from indecent exposure, inappropriate filming and photography, to forcible touch and rape, while traveling throughout the system. Thus far, the MTA has not recognized the vulnerability of female travelers in this environment, and instead has chosen to abdicate all responsibility for protecting the ridership to the NYPD. The focus of this paper will be to address elements that have a direct affect upon female passengers' personal security, which include: the existence of a sexually hostile environment, ineffectual anti-sexual harassment campaigns, certain misconceptions about reducing sexual violence in the transport setting, and the importance of gender representation in transit planning."<br/ >from abstract<br/ >Open source | en |
