Women safety - delhi-case study recommendations (c)uttipec

U
Uttipec Dda

This document discusses women's safety issues in Delhi and provides recommendations to address them. It summarizes crime statistics showing that Delhi has a higher rate of reported rapes than other major Indian cities combined. It then analyzes factors contributing to crime against women such as deserted places lacking natural surveillance like flyovers, signal-free corridors in vehicles, unwatched parks and streets, and a lack of well-maintained public toilet facilities for women. The document recommends urban design solutions like activating unused spaces, adding signals to corridors, and increasing public toilets for women to make areas less vulnerable to crime and improve safety.

Strategic Location for these Toilets is required and they should not be managed by men. 4. Drunken people crowd, in front of these toilets there are regular instances of rape at these places. Most of them unreported.
4 SOCIAL ANGER DUE TO SOCIAL & PHYSICAL MARGINALISATION
SOCIAL ANGER DUE TO MARGINALISATION 1. Resettlement of weaker sections outside the city to unserved places like Savda-Ghevra, Bhalsawa etc. Savda-Ghevra JJ Colony
“People in resettlement colonies must learn to control their bladders. Yes, there are toilet blocks, but you cannot use them at all hours. So we must train ourselves to control our needs,” “The contractors in charge lock them up at night. They open them at 5 a.m. and leave them open till 10 p.m. Sometimes they turn off water, and cleaning usually is done only once in a few weeks. I don’t recommend you see them from inside…the sight is repulsive,” -- said Kamlesh of Bawana Resettlement Colony
SOCIAL ANGER DUE TO MARGINALISATION 1. Resettlement of weaker sections outside the city to unserved places like Savda Ghevra, Bhalsawa etc. 2. Lack of basic facilities and sense of self-pride in life at inner city slums.
PUBLIC TOILETS in Delhi: An emphasis on the facilities for Women in Slum/Resettlement Areas charge for every usage and that the contractor is unable to maintain the cleanliness of the toilet, most people use the neighbouring forest area. there is a It is safe for the men to go whenever they like, but for the women, the only time of the day when they can go alone is from 6 am to 8 am; at all other times they don’t have the courage to go alone. There is an unwritten rule that one side of the forest is for the women to go and the other, the men. But, after 8 am, there are always men who loitre around on the women’s side and trying to find ways to trouble women – there are several cases of sexual harassment. CCS Working Paper No. 192 Summer Research Internship Programme 2008, Centre for Civil Society
SOCIAL ANGER DUE TO MARGINALISATION 1. Resettlement of weaker sections outside the city to unserved places like Savda Ghevra, Bhalsawa etc. 2. Lack of basic facilities and sense of self-pride in life at inner city slums. 3. Removal of hawkers and vendors (who are eyes on streets).
SOLUTION 1. Resettlement of weaker sections outside the city to unserved places like Savda Ghevra, Bhalsawa etc. 2. Lack of basic facilities and sense of self-pride in life at inner city slums. 3. Giving designated space for hawkers and vendors (who are eyes on streets).

IMPROPER ILLUMINATION 1. No lights, or light from light poles getting obstructed by trees, or getting dispersed because of height.
SOLUTION 1. No lights, or light from light poles getting obstructed by trees, or getting dispersed because of height.
5 LESS SUPPLY OF PUBLIC TOILETS
LESS SUPPLY OF PUBLIC TOILETS 1. Results in Public urination by Men – causes discomfort and is a visual & mental harassment for women on streets. Sarai Kale Khan, Ring Road
SOLUTION Frequent and closed toilets/ urinals for men Toilet facility at ITO Bus Stop
6 IMPROPER BUS STOP DESIGN
IMPROPER BUS STOP DESIGN 1. Lack of movement space and blocking public movement path results in brushing and obstructed visibility to bus-stop. Munirka Bus Stop
SOLUTION Adequate space for bus stop design as specified in Street Design Guidelines ITO Bus Stop
BUS STAND Due to opaque back panels on bus stands, there is no lights besides bus stands! Absence of signage for toilets lead to men urinating along boundary wall
Adequate Lights & Vendors at bus stops

for Women safety ACTION POINTS
Physical Interventions required in URBAN ENVIRONMENT QUICK WIN/ IMMEDIATE TERM MEASURES
1 IMMEDIATE STREET LIGHTING OF MAJOR VULNERABLE STREETS (WHICH ARE UNWATCHED BY RESIDENTIAL/ MIXED USE BUILDINGS)
1. Bus stops, underside of elevated MRTS Stations and elevated walkways = 30 Lux NO lighting at all for Footpath & Bus stops Getting dispersed light from main Carriageway
1. Bus stops, underside of elevated MRTS Stations and elevated walkways = 30 Lux Provide separate lighting for pedestrians on footpath & Bus stop
2. Commercial streets, busy public spaces and important street crossings= 20 Lux
3. All other streets and public areas = 10 Lux Dispersed light from shops only, insufficient street lighting Current scenario at Karol Bagh, Delhi
3. All other streets and public areas = 10 Lux Proper street lighting for Pedestrian Walkways
4. For footpaths, white light is recommended to allow visibility of tactile pavers. White light for pedestrians Tactile paving for disabled
2 Introduce hawking/vending areas and street markets in areas like Dhaula Kuan, Dwarka, NH-8,etc. and all major arterials, unwatched streets & bus-stops which are lonely.
1. Create Multi-Utility Zone (MUZ) for street vendors. Create Multi-Utility Zone (MUZ) for street vendors by simple markings and bollards (no major construction required; see Street Design Guidelines)
1. Create Multi-Utility Zone (MUZ) for street vendors. Create Multi-Utility Zone (MUZ) for street vendors by simple markings and bollards (no major construction required; see Street Design Guidelines) - similar to what Janette Sadik Khan did in New York with temporary coloured markings on roads only.

Create Multi-Utility Zone (MUZ) for street vendors by simple markings and bollards (no major construction required; see Street Design Guidelines) - similar to what Janette Sadik Khan did in New York with temporary coloured markings on roads only.
TRANSFORMATION : OPTION 03 STREET MARKETS UNDER FLYOVERS
2. Work with NGOs like Manushi, SEWA, etc. to identify/select the right hawker.
PAVEMENT DWELLERS CAN BE GIVEN OPTION OF WORK & SLEEP ON THE SAME PLACE
3. If roads are too wide, add MUZ • If roads are too wide (15m is viewable distance, therefore 45+ M roads are too wide!!) - add MUZ in the centre of the road like Ramblas(Barcelona), and create vending zones there, with frequent crossings.
3. If roads are too wide, add MUZ • If roads are too wide (15m is viewable distance, therefore 45+ M roads are too wide!!) - add MUZ in the centre of the road like Ramblas(Barcelona), and create vending zones there, with frequent crossings. • Fence the median vending zone to avoid jaywalking. At night, vending zone should turn into sleeping zone for the vendors/ cycle-rickshaw pullers (who should work in the same locality), with toilets and basic facilities, etc.
5. Add semi-formal hawking zones or night shelters there to compound walls If compound walls exist along these vulnerable roads, add semi-formal hawking zones or night shelters there (similar to ITO). (The compound wall provides a back wall as ready-made infrastructure)
5. Add semi-formal hawking zones or night shelters there to compound walls If compound walls exist along these vulnerable roads, add semi-formal hawking zones or night shelters there (similar to ITO). (The compound wall provides a back wall as ready-made infrastructure)
3 MAKE BUS STOPS & BUS SERVICE SAFER AND RELIABLE
1. Bus frequency, timings & reliability to be improved Bus frequency, timings & reliability to be improved : Should be based on time schedule, not on “number of rounds”.
2. Brightly lit the area and not just dependent on the advertisement panels Brightly lit the area (30 lux yellow light) and not just dependent on the Advertisement panels Bus Stops at BRT Corridor are well lit
3. Remove the barrier advertisement panel Remove the barrier advertisement panel which causes “brushing” and may conceal criminals and obstruct movement/ running. Movement & Vision obstructed by side panels
3. Remove the barrier advertisement panel Remove the barrier advertisement panel which causes “brushing” and may conceal criminals and obstruct movement/ running. Free Movement
4. Locate hawkers next to bus stops in planned way. Locate hawkers next to bus stops in planned way. Work with NGOs like Manushi, SEWA, etc. to select/ identify. Hawkers present but obstructing footpath.
4. Locate hawkers next to bus stops in planned way. Locate hawkers next to bus stops in planned way. Work with NGOs like Manushi, SEWA, etc. to select/ identify. Create hawking zone Work with NGOs like Manushi, SEWA, etc. to identify/select the right hawkers
5. Introduce additional bus stops, with hawkers Introduce additional bus stops, with hawkers, on lonely vulnerable streets, near street intersections.
4 INTRODUCE NIGHT SHELTERS/ TEMPORARY HOUSING FOR POOR HOMELESS PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING IN COLD WINTER – NEAR THE UNWATCHED AREAS LIKE DWARKA, DHAULA KUAN, NEHRU PLACE, ETC.
PEOPLE LIVING IN BAD CONDITION CURRENTLY UNDER FLYOVERS, WITH FAMILIES
Provide 'eyes on the street' at night! 1. They will provide 'eyes on the street' at night!! :) 2. Habitat LOCAL vendors & rickshaw pullers (so they are recognised and don’t perpetuate crime)

3. Provide good warm temporary housing! Provide good warm temporary housing though (not tin sheds). Involve NGOs like SEWA, MHs, etc.
5 SLOW DOWN VEHICLES ON SIGNAL-FREE ROADS AT NIGHT IF STREET EDGES ARE ACTIVE
Current Barrigaded Check-points along Signal-free Corridors
1. Add signals and traffic calming to signal-free roads. Add signals and traffic calming to signal-free roads, so that buses/ cars/ etc are forced to slow down. This must be coupled with enhancing street edge activity by introducing hawkers/ housing on the edge. Signals at regular intervals to act as natural barricading points; also provide safe passage to elderly, women, physically disabled and cyclists.
2. In addition, more police booths/checkpoints where required. 3. In areas where ground is safer and the street edge is active then CLOSE flyover at night and facilitate movement at grade. 4. STOP proposing/ building flyover/ grade separator projects!! They are nothing but rape dens and don’t relieve congestion in long term

8 SLOW DOWN VEHICLES ON ROADS (MOST RAPES ARE HAPPENING IN VEHICLES MOVING FREELY ON SIGNAL FREE CORRIDORS)
1. No more signal free corridors- signalize existing ones. 2. Remove gates on public streets from gated colonies from vulnerable areas.
9 GPS ON AUTOS AND TAXIS
Link all auto-rickshaws and taxis registered in Delhi to a GPS system and a central control room. 1. Link all auto-rickshaws and taxis registered in Delhi to a GPS system and a central control room. This will be a win-win solution as auto-drivers will generate more business, the transport control room will be able to monitor their movements, and passengers’ safety and convenience will be improved. 2. Introduce centralized auto-rickshaw services like “Radio Tuk-tuk” (GURGAON) or “G-auto” (Gujarat) to increase safety, reliability and accountability of auto-rickshaw services.

DISTANCE BETWEEN FIXTURES GLARE FREE LIGHTING  Distance between lamps should be based on the vertical height distribution over walkway areas.  The height of vertical distribution overlap should be 6’, so that visual recognition is there, as shown in figure 1  Provide Glare free Ambient lighting for pedestrians.  Use full cut off fixtures for pedestrian zones. OVERLAP Spacing between fixtures; Figure 1 ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTING SHALL HAVE SHIELDING AS PER TABLE BELOW.
1. Redesign all streets to be inclusive as per UTTIPEC Street Design Guidelines. TREE PLANTING & LIGHTING  Coordination of tree plantation and lighting plan required to avoid undesirable foliage shadows and patches of dark zones along streets. (Refer image 2&3) FIGURE 2 Diagram showing conjunction of tree plantation & lighting plan is essential to avoid dark corners. Also the height of the lamp post should be between 3M-5M for pedestrians. FIGURE 3 Improper plantation & inappropriate height of lamp post creates dark shaded
2. Remove Boundary walls! • Remove Boundary walls; re-appropriate setbacks to add active uses (round the clock uses) to it. • Abolish the setback and boundary wall policy. Create “eyes on the street” – by reclaiming setbacks and removing boundary walls of compounds and building to the edge of the street ROW. In new developments, setbacks should be minimized and boundary walls prohibited. This would allow people from inside to look out on to the pavement, thus discouraging misbehavior, shady corners, peeing, etc.

SAFETY ISSUES SPECIFIC TO WOMEN WITH DISABILITIES
Why?
#1 -Design cities which are universally accessible
#2 Awareness Raising to include Women With Disabilities Must have to ensure women with disabilities have equal access to the awareness campaigns: sign language interpretation and captioning for the benefit of women who are deaf or hard of hearing Use more illustrations in transcripts of campaign. All mass media campaign transcripts must be prepared in such accessible formats as may be required depending on the nature of the disability, including but not limited to: a. Braille b. Large print c. Daisy d. Audio e. epub f. pdf g. MS word h. accessible multimedia
#3 Dissemination of information through websites Ensure that the relevant websites disseminating the information are accessible by women with disabilities. Dissemination of Accessibility norms in relation to Websites: 1. All websites must conform to the Guidelines for Indian Government Websites and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. 2. All material in Indic Languages uploaded on websites must be encoded in Unicode [UTF8/16] and formatted using a royalty-free Open Type Font. Ensure that information is given to women with disabilities themselves and not through family members, care takers etc. who are potential abusers and hence may not give them complete information
#4 Problems Women With Disabilities face while Reporting Sexual Offences Women with disabilities encounter following major hurdles in reporting of sexual offences • lack of physical access of police stations, • lack of sensitivity of police personnel to women with disabilities, • and the inability of police officers to be able to effectively communicate with women with disabilities. Unless these hurdles are removed, women with disabilities will be prevented from reporting sexual offences.
#4 The following steps must be taken to ensure that women with disabilities can effectively report sexual offences: a) Every police station must have at least one accessible entrance having a ramp. b) Every Police Station must have at least one empanelled counselor with a background in provision of disability related services, who is adequately trained to assist women with disabilities in relation to reporting of sexual offences. c) The complainant/victim shall be entitled to use any additional support that he/she may choose to report sexual offences. d) Toll free police helplines should be made accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing. In case of using text messaging option, victims should get a response in an accessible format informing them about when the assistance will be made available. e) As far as possible, victims, especially those who are women with disabilities should not be called to the police station and police officers and the empanelled counselor specified in point b) above should be made to visit the victim at his/her residence or place where he/she is comfortable for recording of his/her statement. f) The FIR and all statements of witnesses must be recorded in the language of the person making it. The complainant/victim/witness must be permitted to make the statement in sign language or through communicative devices if he/she so chooses and the counselor specified in point b) above should act as interpreter and the statement should be video graphed as has been suggested in the Mallimath Commission Report to avoid ambiguity. g) Professionals who come in to contact with women with disabilities – Doctors, Nurses, Special Educators etc. need to be educated on the various signs of sexual assault and abuse among women with disabilities and trained in how to elicit information regarding such assaults and abuse, and further, on how to report such offences.
INSTITUTIONAL REFORM AND CAPACITYBUILDING CAUSES
INSTITUTIONAL REFORM AND CAPACITY-BUILDING 1. Policing a. Attitude of Police- blame women, say it’s a women’s fault. b. Do not respect women c. Do not register cases and demoralise victims from doing the same. 2. Legislation a. No proper definitions of sexual crimes. A lot of cases can’t be registered as sexual assault or harassment because they are not included in the crime definition. 3. Justice a. Punishment not harsh enough b. Delayed conviction or non delivery of conviction in cases
INSTITUTIONAL REFORM AND CAPACITYBUILDING ACTION POINTS
INSTITUTIONAL REFORM AND CAPACITY-BUILDING QUICK WINS/ IMMEDIATE 1. Increase Police patrolling in vulnerable city places in the city. MEDIUM-TERM MEASURES 1. Redefining and upgrading the sexual crime code in the legislation as per the two types of sexual crime women are subjected to. 2. The list mentioned above is suggestive, legal aspects to be reconsidered by legal experts. Criminal codes of other countries like Sweden, Australia, Germany, USA, etc can be referred for re-defining and revising the law. 3. Stricter Punishment for offenders & set up fast track courts for better conviction rates. LONG TERM SOLUTION 1. Police training programme: to respect women, make them realise sexual crime if not because of women fault but male issue. Change Attitude. 2. Upgrading Police infrastructure and increase women Police staff. 3. Doubling of efforts to diversify the police force, especially through special recruitment drives in north-eastern and southern states.
ADVOCACY AND AWARENESS BUILDING CAUSES
ADVOCACY AND AWARENESS BUILDING 1. Disrespect & Unequal treatment for women in our society in general. 2. Lack of civic awareness and loops in education system. 3. Culture shock for immigrants who cannot accept to see liberal women in cities.
ADVOCACY AND AWARENESS BUILDING ACTION POINTS
ADVOCACY AND AWARENESS BUILDING 1. School curriculum to be upgraded from a literacy programme to an education Programme, were gender equality / violence against women/women’s safety issues can be incorporated. Training of teachers to reinterpret existing texts and encourage dialogue and discussion on sensitive issues. 2. Introduction of Sex education and sensitization to the current education system. 3. Change mindset - Stop telling women to be safe. Tell the men/ the sons to behave. Send the message to all mothers and fathers.... Target the men!!! Not women!!!
Educate Men!
Educate Men!
ADVOCACY AND AWARENESS BUILDING 4. Conduct training programs in Govt offices for all officials including the senior most, on how to treat/ show respect for women. 5. Police Training Programme: train them to respect women, make them realise sexual crime if not because of women fault but male issue. Change their Attitude. 6. Build awareness on women’s safety and sexual harassment issues in slums and informal settlements through Sanjha Prayas teams. 7.

Create “eyes on the street” – by reclaiming setbacks and removing boundary walls of compounds and building to the edge of the street ROW. In new developments, setbacks should be minimized and boundary walls prohibited. This would allow people from inside to look out on to the pavement, thus discouraging misbehavior, shady corners, peeing, etc.

  • 176. #4 Problems Women With Disabilities face while Reporting Sexual Offences Women with disabilities encounter following major hurdles in reporting of sexual offences • lack of physical access of police stations, • lack of sensitivity of police personnel to women with disabilities, • and the inability of police officers to be able to effectively communicate with women with disabilities. Unless these hurdles are removed, women with disabilities will be prevented from reporting sexual offences.
  • 177. #4 The following steps must be taken to ensure that women with disabilities can effectively report sexual offences: a) Every police station must have at least one accessible entrance having a ramp. b) Every Police Station must have at least one empanelled counselor with a background in provision of disability related services, who is adequately trained to assist women with disabilities in relation to reporting of sexual offences. c) The complainant/victim shall be entitled to use any additional support that he/she may choose to report sexual offences. d) Toll free police helplines should be made accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing. In case of using text messaging option, victims should get a response in an accessible format informing them about when the assistance will be made available. e) As far as possible, victims, especially those who are women with disabilities should not be called to the police station and police officers and the empanelled counselor specified in point b) above should be made to visit the victim at his/her residence or place where he/she is comfortable for recording of his/her statement. f) The FIR and all statements of witnesses must be recorded in the language of the person making it. The complainant/victim/witness must be permitted to make the statement in sign language or through communicative devices if he/she so chooses and the counselor specified in point b) above should act as interpreter and the statement should be video graphed as has been suggested in the Mallimath Commission Report to avoid ambiguity. g) Professionals who come in to contact with women with disabilities – Doctors, Nurses, Special Educators etc. need to be educated on the various signs of sexual assault and abuse among women with disabilities and trained in how to elicit information regarding such assaults and abuse, and further, on how to report such offences.
