Ram Singh, in his statement
to police, admitted they all got drunk and planned to abduct women from the Ring Road. His statement is one of the many documents attached to the chargesheet, a police officer said. “That night, they were on the lookout for sex workers. When they could not find
any, they decided to abduct women walking alone on the Ring Road. It was with this intention that they lured the paramedic student and her male friend into the bus,” the officer said.

“People in resettlement colonies must learn to control their
bladders. Yes, there are toilet blocks, but you cannot use them at all hours. So we must train ourselves to control our needs,” “The contractors in charge lock them up at night. They open them at 5 a.m. and leave them open till 10 p.m. Sometimes they turn off water, and cleaning usually is done only once in a few weeks. I don’t recommend you see them from inside…the sight is repulsive,” -- said Kamlesh of Bawana Resettlement Colony

PUBLIC TOILETS in Delhi: An emphasis on the facilities for Women in Slum/Resettlement Areas
there is a charge for every usage and that the contractor is unable to maintain
the cleanliness of the toilet, most people use the neighbouring forest area.
It is safe for the men to go whenever they like, but for the women, the only time of the day when they can go alone is from 6 am to 8 am; at all other
times they don’t have the courage to go alone.
There is an unwritten rule that one side of the forest is for the women to go and the other, the men. But, after 8 am, there are always men who loitre around on the women’s side and trying to find ways to trouble
women – there are several cases of sexual harassment.

3. If roads are too wide, add MUZ
• If roads are too wide (15m is viewable distance, therefore 45+ M roads are too wide!!) - add MUZ in the centre of the road like Ramblas(Barcelona), and create vending zones there, with frequent crossings.

• If roads are too wide (15m is viewable distance, therefore 45+ M roads are too wide!!) - add MUZ in the centre of the road like Ramblas(Barcelona), and create vending zones there, with frequent crossings.
• Fence the median vending zone to avoid jaywalking. At night, vending zone should turn into sleeping zone for the vendors/ cycle-rickshaw pullers (who should work in the same locality), with toilets and basic facilities, etc.

1. Add signals and traffic calming to signal-free roads.
Signals at regular intervals to act as natural barricading points; also provide safe passage to elderly, women, physically disabled and cyclists.
Add signals and traffic calming to signal-free roads, so that buses/ cars/ etc are forced to slow down. This must be coupled with enhancing street edge activity by introducing hawkers/ housing on the edge.
![Page 132: Women safety - delhi-case study recommendations (c)uttipec](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554db9d8b4c905bd488b4783/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
2. In addition, more police booths/checkpoints where required.
3. In areas where ground is safer and the street edge is active then CLOSE flyover
at night and facilitate movement at grade.
4. STOP proposing/ building flyover/ grade separator projects!! They are nothing
but rape dens and don’t relieve congestion in long term

Link all auto-rickshaws and taxis registered in Delhi to a GPS system and a central control room.
1. Link all auto-rickshaws and taxis registered in Delhi to a GPS system and a central control room. This will be a win-win solution as auto-drivers will generate more business, the transport control room will be able to monitor their movements, and passengers’ safety and convenience will be improved.
2. Introduce centralized auto-rickshaw services like “Radio Tuk-tuk” (GURGAON) or “G-auto” (Gujarat) to increase safety, reliability and accountability of auto-rickshaw services.

Create “eyes on the street” – by reclaiming setbacks and removing boundary walls of compounds and building to the edge of the street ROW. In new developments, setbacks should be minimized and boundary walls prohibited. This would allow people from inside to look out on to the pavement, thus discouraging misbehavior, shady corners, peeing, etc.
2. Remove Boundary walls!
• Remove Boundary walls; re-appropriate setbacks to add active uses (round the clock uses) to it.
• Abolish the setback and boundary wall policy.

#3 Dissemination of information through websites
Ensure that the relevant websites disseminating the information are accessible by women with disabilities. Dissemination of Accessibility norms in relation to Websites: 1. All websites must conform to the Guidelines for Indian Government Websites and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. 2. All material in Indic Languages uploaded on websites must be encoded in Unicode [UTF8/16] and formatted using a royalty-free Open Type Font.
Ensure that information is given to women with disabilities themselves and not through family members, care takers etc. who are potential abusers and hence may not give them complete information

#4 Problems Women With Disabilities face while Reporting Sexual Offences
Women with disabilities encounter following major hurdles in reporting of sexual offences • lack of physical access of police stations, • lack of sensitivity of police personnel to women with disabilities, • and the inability of police officers to be able to effectively
communicate with women with disabilities.
Unless these hurdles are removed, women with disabilities will be prevented from reporting sexual offences.
![Page 177: Women safety - delhi-case study recommendations (c)uttipec](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554db9d8b4c905bd488b4783/html5/thumbnails/177.jpg)
#4 The following steps must be taken to ensure that women with disabilities can effectively report sexual offences:
a) Every police station must have at least one accessible entrance having a ramp.
b) Every Police Station must have at least one empanelled counselor with a background in provision of disability related services, who is adequately trained to assist women with disabilities in relation to reporting of sexual offences.
c) The complainant/victim shall be entitled to use any additional support that he/she may choose to report sexual offences.
d) Toll free police helplines should be made accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing. In case of using text messaging option, victims should get a response in an accessible format informing them about when the assistance will be made available.
e) As far as possible, victims, especially those who are women with disabilities should not be called to the police station and police officers and the empanelled counselor specified in point b) above should be made to visit the victim at his/her residence or place where he/she is comfortable for recording of his/her statement.
f) The FIR and all statements of witnesses must be recorded in the language of the person making it. The complainant/victim/witness must be permitted to make the statement in sign language or through communicative devices if he/she so chooses and the counselor specified in point b) above should act as interpreter and the statement should be video graphed as has been suggested in the Mallimath Commission Report to avoid ambiguity.
g) Professionals who come in to contact with women with disabilities – Doctors, Nurses, Special Educators etc. need to be educated on the various signs of sexual assault and abuse among women with disabilities and trained in how to elicit information regarding such assaults and abuse, and further, on how to report such offences.

LONG TERM SOLUTION 1. Police training programme: to respect women, make them realise sexual crime if not
because of women fault but male issue. Change Attitude. 2. Upgrading Police infrastructure and increase women Police staff. 3. Doubling of efforts to diversify the police force, especially through special recruitment
