Public Space safe for everyone

Dear participants,
We kindly invite you to take part in our brief survey on the experience in public spaces in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). We understand your time is valuable, and we assure you that this survey will only take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Your input and insights are crucial to our research as we strive to understand and address the challenges faced by individuals in their interactions and activities within the city.
The survey aims to gather valuable information about your encounters and perceptions of public spaces, with a specific focus on safety, accessibility, and inclusivity. By sharing your experiences, you will contribute to shaping a more inclusive and safe environment for all community members.
Rest assured that your responses will remain confidential and anonymous. The data collected will be analyzed in aggregate to ensure privacy. Your participation is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time without any consequences.
We appreciate your time and valuable input in completing this survey. Together, we can work towards creating vibrant, equitable, and welcoming public spaces in the GTA. Thank you for your participation.
Sincerely,
The Fearless Cities Research Team
The Fearless Cities project is an initiative for social justice led by a team of passionate advocates for marginalized communities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The project leaders, Noheir, Kawther, and Eman, bring unique expertise in sustainable design, urban justice, and community engagement to the project. Together, they aim to create a more inclusive and just city, where everyone, especially visibly Muslim women and other women of color, can move around safely in public spaces.
The project is a collaboration between the Leading Social Justice Collective (LSJC), the School of Cities at the University of Toronto, and the United Way. It seeks to enhance the safety and inclusivity of public spaces for visibly Muslim women and other women of color in the GTA, which is recognized as an "arrival city" that welcomes newcomers and celebrates diversity. The project explores the concept of the "right to the city" and the rights of visible minorities and visibly religious women in Toronto. It investigates the implications of gendered Islamophobia and racism on their perception of the city and how they can navigate it.
