27- Safety for Girls on Trains: We Need to Talk About This
When we talk about sustainable travel, we often focus on the environment, but what about personal safety? In this episode of Travel Devil, we explore the challenges women face when using public transport, particularly trains.
With real-life experiences and eye-opening statistics - like the fact that 93% of s3xual violence victims on Parisian public transport are women, and 26% are underaged girls - this episode sheds light on an issue that affects millions of travelers worldwide.
We’ll discuss:
- Practical safety tips for traveling by train
- The role of safe spaces in train stations
- How bystanders can help in dangerous situations
- Emergency resources, including key helplines and apps
Drawing on research from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights and safety initiatives by SNCF, this episode aims to raise awareness and share actionable advice to help create safer journeys for all.
