This is what I consider a very cool, clever and innovative paper. Instead of relying on self-reported surveys or government data with definitional issues, it just looks at whether women are visible on the streets.
And bear in mind, Mumbai is often considered to be a more female-friendly Indian city.
Using GPS-linked wearable cameras and randomised street audits across 900 kilometres of roads in Greater Mumbai, taking 4000 street images of 23,000 visible individuals,
They find that women only account for 16% of visible people in Mumbai and 15% in Navi Mumbai.
BRILLIANTLY CLEVER PAPER! 👏
Now do Jaipur and Patna!
