In Moerwijk, I noticed that men frequently occupied public spaces while women were noticeably absent. Curiosity led me to interview 50 women to understand their views on the neighborhood's public areas. Although many women expressed a positive opinion of the neighborhood, they also shared concerns about safety for themselves and their children as a major issue they face in utilizing these spaces.
SafeSteps
A vibrant and secure pedestrian route located in the middle of Moerwijk. It connects the most popular playgrounds in every part of Moerwijk (west, east, north and south). SafeSteps route is designed for the safety and well-being of women and children. Inspired by diverse cultures, the route features various patterns, improved lighting, accessible restrooms, emergency buttons, and unique benches to foster connectivity and sociality among women.
