Women Navigating Public Spaces

Policy Lab for Belgium

Research has shown that in Belgium, 91% of women aged 15-24 have experienced sexual harassment in public space, compared to 28% of young men. This systemic behaviour against women infringes on their right to the city and limits their ability to navigate public space freely, safely and comfortably.

The upcoming Policy Lab aims to respond to these widespread patterns by shedding light on the importance of behaviour change to eradicate gender-based harassment.

The Policy Lab will address three concrete objectives:

1. Developing a common understanding and awareness of what is perceived as safe in public spaces
2. Sharing best practices on innovative measures that can make cities safer
3. Discussing the importance of behaviour change in eradicating gender-based harassment
