‘Measuring women’s safety perceptions and strengthening community policing,’ presents the findings from a quantitative household survey conducted with 422 citizens in Hubli-Dharwad (207 women and 215 men) on security perceptions in the city. Considering women represent 49.72% of the population in Hubli Dharwad, Janaagraha designed the study to ensure 50% of surveys were undertaken with women. The study aimed to facilitate a deeper examination of the potential role of law enforcement in fostering women’s access to public spaces, ultimately enhancing their capacity to engage in the workforce and make meaningful contributions to the economic well-being of their families, communities, and society.
