For the first time in history, there are more people living in cities than in rural areas. Each month, 5 million people are added to the cities in developing countries, many of them adolescent girls looking for a better life in the city.
Safer buses for girls in Vietnam
Cities such as Vietnam’s capital Hanoi provide girls with more opportunities than rural areas. However, they also put girls at a higher risk of abuse.
Our research shows that over 40% of girls feel unsafe when using public transport in Hanoi. That's why we're working with girls, ticket inspectors and bus conductors to improve safety for girls in the city.
