| description |
This report explores two aspects of
the rail transport sector - mobility, and employment--in the
countries of Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina from a
gender perspective. It examines issues of rail transport for
women both as passengers, and as sector employees. It
highlights the urgency of transport decarbonization for the
Western Balkan countries (WB6) in the context of the
European Union’s Green Deal,2 which aims to achieve net zero
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. This report shows
that Covid-19 has decimated rail transport use at a time
when global and WB6 regional efforts must dramatically
increase their movement toward decarbonization. The study
confirms that the pandemic has drawn people away from public
transport including rail, and toward more carbon-intensive
individual modes of transportation. It also makes a rarely
made connection between getting more women into the
transport sector and improved mobility for women. Rail
services remain male-dominated across the world. The report
finds clear parallels between women’s employment and
mobility. Finally, while this study focuses on women and
rail transport, it has the benefit of making rail more
attractive for other cohorts as well, including those who
primarily use private vehicles (mainly men). |
