Abstract:
This research looks at how women address the question of their safety in cities. It has
been assessed whether how patriarchy dominate the spatial decisions taken by in the
cities planning. When it comes to attending to women’s safety concerns, the present
policy instruments fail to include their aspirations. Ensuring that women become a
part of the policy process at all levels will result in increasing their safety in the
cities. The urban spaces have to be made safer for women by adopting an inclusive
urban policy framework. Through the course of this research, gender mainstreaming
has been identified as a viable policy strategy to drive the urban policy framework.
