At Metropolis, we are committed to putting the rights established in the SDG 11 (Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable) from the 2030 Agenda, on our members' political agenda.

Thus, it is essential for safety policies in our metropolises to incorporate elements that promote equal use and appropriation of public space by women and girls, allowing them to enjoy their right to full citizenship.

Sexual harassment and other forms of sexual violence in the public space suffered by women, limit their freedom of movement and access to political, economic, social, cultural and educational rights.

Therefore, we have considered it necessary to analyse, following a group of indicators, the gender-sensitive safety policies of our members

The project consists in drawing a metropolitan map with the aim of raising awareness of our members' policies to fight sexual violence against women and girls in public space.
