Public transport is a known hotspot for sexual violence and harassment. Through 41 interviews with women and gender-diverse people who have experienced sexual violence and harassment on public transport, we found that women and gender-diverse people engage in extensive “safety work,” such as changing their behavior, strategizing, and planning. Safety work takes considerable time and effort, often leaving participants feeling stressed. However, participants advocated for changes to public transport to reduce the work they do to stay safe. We argue that significant changes, including primary prevention of gender-based violence, are needed to reduce their safety work.

“我会尽力让自己变得尽可能小”：公共交通中的女性和性别多样化人群的安全工作


公共交通是众所周知的性暴力和性骚扰热点地区。通过对在公共交通上经历过性暴力和骚扰的女性和不同性别人士的 41 次采访，我们发现女性和不同性别人士从事广泛的“安全工作”，例如改变自己的行为、制定策略和规划。安全工作需要大量的时间和精力，常常让参与者感到压力。然而，参与者主张改变公共交通，以减少他们为保证安全所做的工作。我们认为，需要进行重大变革，包括对基于性别的暴力进行初级预防，以减少其安全工作。
