In Ukrainian cities where 70% of the population live, there is gender discrimination in the right to access to quality living space "urban areas." Gender problems solving in the country largely depends on the ability of municipalities to create equal opportunities for women and men of different ages who live in different parts of the city. In the cities living space there is gender asymmetry, particularly in the way of providing the right to access to the "urban spaces" - the time and money spent to access : recreational areas (gardens, parks), educational and cultural establishments, health care facilities, shopping facilities, etc. Сountering trafficking in in human beings.

4. Safe City : Safe city for women - safe for all the people. Gender Audit of the city.
Feeling of danger prevents the use of living space by women (being in public places can cause anxiety and as a result - they try to avoid these areas).
Insecurity in cities is generated not only by crime and violence, but also by social, economic, cultural and domestic issues. Poverty, unemployment, inadequate wages, social isolation can lead to frustration among men and made women more vulnerable, especially if they are in "disadvantaged" areas of the city.
Women feel insecure because of the low quality or lack of municipal services (health, housing, etc.), poor quality or lack of housing. If women do not own property they are becoming less secure (fear of losing housing is an obstacle for women who want to leave partners who offend them).
