Enhancing Women’s Safety in Metro with Gender-Segregated Carriages

Introduction

Tehran Metro has taken proactive steps to ensure the safety and comfort of female passengers by implementing a plan to enforce gender-segregated carriages. This initiative, designed to address concerns from women in Tehran, is gaining significant momentum.

The issue of unauthorized male passengers entering women’s carriages has been a longstanding concern. Over the past two months, Tehran Metro staff and local police have worked collaboratively to prevent such incidents and create a secure environment for female commuters. The measures and penalties in place aim to deter men from entering female-designated spaces.
