No Footpaths, No Safety: Saylee’s Walk Home Through India’s Urban Chaos
My Access Matters: Saylee’s Daily Journey Through a City That Won’t Protect Her
Every afternoon, 10-year-old Saylee walks home from school — crossing dangerous roads, dodging traffic, and avoiding uncovered manholes. She does this without a footpath, without clean air, and without the basic safety every child deserves.
In this moving short film from the #MyAccessMatters series, we follow Saylee’s daily struggle — a reflection of the harsh urban realities faced by thousands of children in India.
This story highlights:
- The absence of child-safe infrastructure in Indian cities
- The health and safety risks of walking through high-traffic, high-pollution zones
- The failure of urban planning to prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable
Saylee’s safety shouldn’t be left to chance. Her right to walk safely and breathe clean air must be protected.
