Abstract [en]

Sexual violence comes in many forms, and it is a common phenomenon in public transportation venues worldwide. What is the nature of sexual violence in transportation environments? Which are the most affected groups of riders? When and where does sexual violence mostly happen? How does sexual violence affect the lives of those victimized worldwide? These issues are discussed in this entry. First, we begin by defining sexual violence and public transport for the purposes of this discussion and outline why this is a relevant area. This entry explores also the strategies and interventions currently adopted worldwide by public agencies. This entry concludes by recommending ways to prevent sexual violence in transportation environments as well as which knowledge is needed about sexual violence and its prevention.
