BART wants to end sexual harassment of girls and gender-based violence on its transit system and on Thursday in Berkeley the agency kicked off the second phase of a campaign to do so.
This second phase of the Not One More Girl campaign is focused on empowering riders in harassment situations and providing tools to support them when harassment does occur.
Trost spoke with youth in Oakland and at the University of California at Berkeley and was humbled by what she heard, she said. Girls told BART officials that they don't feel safe on empty trains. They are fearful when a man sits next to them when there are other open seats. BART is also increasing the frequency of trains on nights and weekends, so girls and other youth don't have to wait so long.BART officials decided against designating cars as women-only, which some transit agencies around the world do. Instead, BART is encouraging girls and youth and anyone who doesn't feel safe to ride in the first car.
