Transportation systems have traditionally been designed with the needs of men in mind. However, as women have taken on a greater role in the workplace and other areas, reforms and innovations have become increasingly necessary. In the last decade, Argentina has sought to introduce some reforms. This module will discuss some of these reforms and the steps that were required in terms of implementing gender-based policy reforms.
