Violence is a reality in women's lives.
Making public spaces safer is one way to reduce the opportunity for sexual and other assaults. The method has been adapted for planners and architects to audit blueprints during the pre-building stage of development. Students, faculty and staff on college and university campuses have used audits extensively to assess personal safety problems and features of campus facilities. The Women's Safety Audit is a method of evaluating a physical environment in teens of women's personal safety concerns. The audit process involves a group of women looking at different spaces, discussing, and recording their experience and impressions of an area, usually after dark.
