🚌 Breaking barriers, one bus at a time.
Over the past few months, Manas Foundation in partnership with GIZ has taken gender sensitization to the heart of India's public transport system — working directly with bus drivers and conductors across Gujarat, Karnataka, and Kerala.
From the streets of Surat and Rajkot, to the depots of Mysuru and Hubballi, to the routes of Thiruvananthapuram — we've had real, honest conversations about safety, respect, and what it means to be a guardian of public spaces.
Through role-plays, case studies, and open discussions, transport staff learned to:
✅ Recognize and respond to harassment
✅ Apply SOPs with confidence
✅ See themselves as protectors of every passenger's dignity
Because safer public transport isn't just a policy goal — it's built person by person, depot by depot.
Here's to the drivers and conductors who showed up, asked hard questions, and committed to doing better. 🙌
