Access to transportation is more than just getting from point A to point B. It means having access to resources, opportunities, and education. Transportation has the power to either stifle or emancipate populations. This challenge is even more significant for women, especially those facing civil tensions. Through the lens of mobility and transport, innovators in Bolivia and Afghanistan will discuss how transportation can tackle challenges such as gender-based violence and inequality. Participants will learn from the visionaries behind Mi Teleférico, an aerial cable car system connecting Bolivia's capital, La Paz, with El Alto, a poorer but growing city. They will also meet the leaders who started Pink Shuttle, the only all-female transportation service in Afghanistan that allows women to access school and work safely. Additionally, participants will explore how communities can use creative forms of transportation as a means of peacebuilding.
