Abstract

Public transport is a known hotspot for sexual violence and harassment. Through 41 interviews with women and gender-diverse people who have experienced sexual violence and harassment on public transport, we found that women and gender-diverse people engage in extensive "safety work," such as changing their behavior, strategizing, and planning. Safety work takes considerable time and effort, often leaving participants feeling stressed. However, participants advocated for changes to public transport to reduce the work they do to stay safe. We argue that significant changes, including primary prevention of gender-based violence, are needed to reduce their safety work.

"我会尽量让自己变得渺小"：妇女和不同性别者的公共交通安全工作。

众所周知，公共交通是性暴力和性骚扰的热点。通过对 41 位在公共交通工具上遭受过性暴力和性骚扰的女性和不同性别者进行访谈，我们发现女性和不同性别者都参与了大量的 "安全工作"，如改变自己的行为、制定策略和计划。安全工作需要花费大量的时间和精力，常常让参与者感到压力山大。然而，参与者主张改变公共交通，以减少她们为保持安全所做的工作。我们认为，要减少他们的安全工作，需要进行重大变革，包括对性别暴力的初级预防。
