Women and the Nighttime EconomyAt work or play, women experience a different world at night. Whether enjoying Dallas' sociable districts, managing a life around her night shift job, or even at her nighttime workplace, a woman juggles disadvantages not experienced by a man.
During the coronavirus pandemic, childcare, housework, and stay-at-home schooling have mostly fallen to mothers. These responsibilities are compounded for women who work at night.
One in three women going out at night report unwanted sexual attention – including harassment, unwanted touching, or sexual gestures. 68% of those women report physical and/or verbal aggression.
What can businesses and business districts do to reassure female customers at night? How can the City of Dallas help? And what can we all do to better respond to the needs and challenges faced by women who work or socialize at night?
