Why Not Loiter? Widening Women’s Access to Public Space | Sameera Khan

To encourage the students to look at the issue of women and public space with a new lens. Starting with an interactive exercise, the workshop will lay out a few key ideas of how women and men access and use public space and explain why merely pushing for women’s safety in public space is in itself a limited goal. Taking up ideas that have been popularised by the book ‘Why Loiter? Women & Risk on Mumbai Streets’, the workshop will engage with strategies such as ‘risk’ and ‘loitering’ and why these may be useful in opening up ways of providing women more real access to public space and also opportunities to reclaim the public as a place for pleasure.
