Abstract

This article looks at gender inequalities in urban mobility, focusing on women living in Colombo, in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, who use public transport to get to work in the domestic services sector in Curitiba. The study analyzes the accessibility, inclusion and safety of public transport, pointing out the limitations faced by women. Using the "Commented Walk" method, the mobility conditions and challenges faced by this specific group were observed. The article highlights the importance of public policies that take into account the needs of women in the production of urban space and improving mobility, with a view to reducing the physical, symbolic and subjective barriers that impact on women's quality of life and participation in society.
