@WomenUrbanismCA @carmel_ker I went to Carmel’s open house last week as I happened to be in Berlin. It was so great to see girls taking up space in the public realm! Plus the visuals were really cool.

Thanks for the write up @shareehochman !

@carmel_ker, the researcher behind GUrL Berlin, is working alongside teen girls to understand their perception of safety in public spaces. She found teen girls need more than physical interventions to feel safe, as it's also about reclaiming spaces that are dominated by men.

@Jonna_unterwegs @lovinurbanism @uchangeacademy @zkuberlin @MakeSpaceforGi1 Danke Joanna! That’s right - my project GUrL (Gendered Urban Landscapes) has so many overlaps - I’d love to hear more and get involved :)

Berlin, where my grandparents are from, is very close to my heart and I’m excited to see what I uncover. Very grateful to @ace_national #DYCP for making this possible! Happy to share findings with others working on this, eg @MakeSpaceforGi1 @dbornat @atjuliaking 2/2

[carmel keren @carmel_ker]

Thank you so much @shareehochman , this is very kind. Hope to continue our conversation again soon!

[Sharee Hochman @shareehochman]

Great to see @carmel_ker from @zkuberlin’s research GUrL (Gendered Urban Landscapes) in Berlin yesterday.

Using Alexanderplatz as a case study to identify and address inequities of public spaces for teen girls and marginalized genders.

@dbornat @RIBA @RIBAEducation Totally. Forever grateful a kind teacher at my school put me in touch with their friend - that 1 week work experience at 16 turned into my first job out of uni and was a giant door opener. So so important

We mourn the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, one of Palestine's leading journalists. Her killing exemplifies the very same acts of violence and repression committed by Israel against Palestinians that she reported on daily.
