Improving urban safety is crucial for every pedestrian, especially for women and girls, often the victims of gender-based violence.
Poor street lighting is linked to crime and gender-based violence globally. Improved lighting can lead to 38 fewer crimes in an area, according to the UK College of Policing. Traditional urban design disregards women due to social, economic, and spatial factors. Dimly lit cities worsen women's insecurity and limit economic empowerment.
