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.
