Address real world issues and build collective solutions in a virtual connection with urban innovator tackling inequalities.
Access to transportation is more than getting from point a to b. It means access to resources, opportunity and education. It has the power to stifle or emancipate populations. The challenge is even more palpable for women and especially those facing civil tensions. Thinking through the lens of mobility, transport, join innovators in Bolivia and Afghanistan to discuss how transportation can tackle challenges such as gender-based violence and inequality. 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, meet the leaders who started Pink Shuttle, the only all-female transportation service in Afghanistan that allows women to access school and work safely, and explore how communities can use creative forms of transportation as a means of peacebuilding.
