Partnership with DTC

PARTNERSHIP WITH DTC ON JAGORI’s SAFE DELHI CAMPAIGN

Buses are the most common mode of transport in Delhi. Different surveys have shown that a large number of molestation cases take place in buses and women feel unsafe travelling by buses. As many as 90 percent of the 18,000 respondents in a public perception survey carried out to collect data for the Delhi Human Development Report felt that public transport is unsafe for women in Delhi.

The DTC has shown tremendous foresight in addressing this issue proactively. JAGORI and DTC have partnered to make DTC buses more women friendly.

Under this partnership, JAGORI will be holding workshops to sensitise bus drivers and conductors on issues of gender and sexual harassment. We have produced publicity material to address the issue of women’s safety. This material will be displayed in DTC buses and at DTC pass counters.

The training programme for DTC on “Gender Sensitization” was inaugurated by the Chief Minister, Mrs. Sheila Dikshit on September 3, 2007
