OBJECT: Request of contacts and documents
on “Mainstreaming Gender & Mobility issue”
Research, good practices and policies

Hello!

Our organisation has been charged by the Belgian Minister of
Transport – Mrs Isabelle Durant - of setting up an inventory of what
is done over “Mainstreaming Gender & Mobility”. This survey must be
achieved by end of February 2002.

Therefore we are very interested in:
-	research and surveys carried out on that subject (university thesis,
symposium, …)
-	good practices (on the scale of a city or on the initiative of any
organisation)
-	political programmes (statistics, media campaigns, …)
-	media supports and educational tools (internet, posters, videos,
cd-rom)

Do you have specific documents in this field ?
Could you help us in contacts and sources of information?

Please pass also this information within your network with the hope
that some others organisations will get an interest from this.

All documents and recommendations will be presented on a web site and
a cd-rom which will be available from March 2002.  These tools will be
used in order to make civil agents sensitive to the integration of the
gender dimension in any project of city designing and particularly in
any transport policy.

Key words: gender issues – mobility – transport – city – women point
of vue – children – elderly people – urban safety – alternative
transport – time management

Considering the short term of this survey we would be very grateful if
you could reply as soon as possible.

Best regards and thanks a lot in advance for uour contribution.

In 1995 City & Shelter coordinated a project supported by the European
Commission that allowed the publishing of “European Charter for Women
in the City” (which is available in 12 languages:
Fr-En-De-It-Pt-Es-Nl-Sf-Chinese-Turkish-Arab-Russian).  Details on our
web site www.cityshelter.org.  We also made a cd-rom entitled “City,
Citizenship and Gender” supported by Unesco in 97.
