Reframing ‘Safe Cities for Women’: Feminist articulations in Recife

Yardena Tankel

Development, 2011, vol. 54, issue 3, 352-357

Abstract: Despite global interest in women's safety specifically in urban contexts, there is little attention given to the modernist move towards functionalist cities without people. This absence of publicness has done little to engender women's rights to the city and their right to public collective spaces. Yardena Tankel addresses this lack of critical attention within ‘safe city for women’ discourse and examines the ways in which women in Recife, Brazil have organized through feminist networks to reclaim public space and bring collective visibility to women's diverse needs and multifaceted experiences of insecurities.
