Abstract

Since the early 1990s, gender mainstreaming has been developed as a tool to help in implementing new policies in different areas, however, this tool has not been properly utilized in the transport sector. This project focuses on including gender mainstreaming in the research of the transport system in Kigali City, Rwanda. The gendered public transport project shows that there are tenacious and clear gender differences in transport patterns amongst women, elderly people, and people with disabilities. This research project shows that transport policymakers and researchers must pay attention to gender issues in order to incorporate gendered designs that will impact and improve transport policy and transportation systems.
