This Toolkit, produced by Comité d'Action Femmes et Sécurité Urbaine, is for creating a comprehensive intervention model on women's urban safety. It focuses on approaches that empower women to take charge of their own security and provides information about the causes and consequences of women' fear of crime, as well as the myths and prejudices that surround them. The toolkit covers: intervention approaches; specific activities for men, women, and the general public; community mobilization strategies; and planning and design tips. Available in English, French and Spanish; 29 pages.
