The infrastructure that decides whether a woman can travel to work
The problem
Street lighting, footpaths, functioning toilets and reliable transport determine women's access to work and education, and are usually treated as minor works.
Why it matters
A missing street light is a labour force participation policy, whether or not anyone intends it to be.
Proposed solution
A safety infrastructure audit for each covered constituency, conducted with local women, published with named locations and specific fixes.
How it would be implemented
Structured evening walk-through audits led by women volunteers, producing a specific, costed list of fixes for the local body.
Risks, and what we would do about them
Risk
Audit participation can itself expose participants to risk.
Mitigation
Audits are conducted in groups, never alone. Participant identity is never published.
