The petition aims to make women-only carriages a voluntary and protective option in the public transport network, offering a safer alternative to mixed carriages. There are successful examples in Japan, India, and Mexico. Women's safety is a concern, with harassment, followed, and groped incidents still prevalent on public transport, despite awareness campaigns and surveillance efforts.
