Why visibility in public spaces is vital for women's freedom
In short: Srishti Bakshi explores how reclaiming public spaces can empower women. This video follows her 2,300-mile journey across India to conduct driving workshops and advocate for safer, more inclusive mobility.
In India, where 600 million women face safety concerns like catcalls and harassment, being seen outdoors after sunset remains a challenge. Srishti Bakshi embarked on a 2,300-mile trek—a distance comparable to traveling from New York City to Los Angeles—to address these issues. By conducting driving workshops, she aims to increase women's mobility and foster a sense of independence. Her mission is built on the idea that seeing more women in public spaces leads to greater safety and empowerment for everyone.
