Resumen

Despite being neglected for several decades, and in many countries, public transport environments have transformed into a reflection of social disparities and inequalities. Among these issues, harassment–a pervasive and worldwide gendered dynamic–has been demonstrated to negatively impact women’s behavioral trends, daily opportunities, and health impacts, as well as safety and security outcomes.
