Why do we need gender-sensitive data and statistics in transportation? Behind the Data: Inequalities and Power Struggles in Our Society

Abstract

The study of mobility with a gender perspective contributes to the creation of public policies in the field of transportation that guarantee the safety of all people, are sensitive to social problems and do not reproduce inequalities. This paper provides keys to answering the question: what is gender-sensitive data? Data-driven solutions and analyses have real implications for people's daily lives. So if gender biases are reproduced in data, cisgender women and LGBTTINB+ people will continue to be disadvantaged relative to cisgender men.
