Would you feel safer in a woman only
0:02
tube carriage? Or is gender segregation
0:03
a step backward for London? With sexual
0:06
offenses on the underground hitting a
0:07
5-year high, a new petition with 15,000
0:10
signatures is calling for female only
0:12
carriages to protect commuters from
0:14
harassment. Supporters say it's a quick,
0:16
lowcost way to create a safe haven
0:18
during late night travel. But critics
0:20
argue it's totally unworkable. How do
0:22
you stop men from boarding a packed rush
0:24
hour train without a massive police
0:26
presence? Many argue that segregation
0:28
isn't the fix and instead we should be
0:30
investing in more visible policing and
0:32
better security to make the entire
0:34
network safe for everyone. So, is a
0:36
dedicated carriage the safety net women
0:37
need or just a sticking plaster for a
0:39
much bigger problem? Let me know what
0:41
you think in the comments.
