Rohini’s Story: Walking 10km Through Pollution | Why Indian Cities Must Change
My Access Matters: Rohini’s Daily Walk Through a City That Ignores Her
Rohini walks nearly 10 kilometers each day — not by choice, but because Indian cities are not built for people like her.
In this compelling short film from our #MyAccessMatters series, we follow Rohini, a domestic worker navigating unsafe roads, air pollution, and heavy traffic without footpaths or reliable transport. Her journey sheds light on a much larger urban crisis: the everyday exclusion of pedestrians, especially women and workers from low-income communities.
Key issues explored in this film:
- The risks of walking in car-dominated cities
- Lack of safe pedestrian infrastructure
- Exposure to dangerous levels of air pollution
- The urgent need for people-centered urban planning
This is not just about mobility — it’s about equity, safety, and the right to clean air.
📺 Watch Rohini’s story and see why accessible, inclusive cities matter for all of us.
