No Space, No Dignity: Prithvi’s Daily Struggle as a Vendor in India’s City Streets

My Access Matters: Prithvi’s Fight for Dignity on the Streets of Our Cities
Prithvi is more than a vegetable vendor — he’s an essential service provider. But every day, he navigates dangerous roads, inhales toxic air, and risks his safety just to earn a living.

In this compelling short film from the #MyAccessMatters series, we follow Prithvi’s journey through a city that doesn’t recognize the needs of informal workers. With no dedicated space to sell, no protection from traffic, and no access to clean air, his story exposes the deep inequities embedded in urban design.

Key issues explored:

  • Lack of designated spaces for street vendors
  • Exposure to severe air pollution during long hours outdoors
  • Unsafe, vehicle-first infrastructure that excludes informal workers
  • The need for inclusive, people-first city planning

Prithvi’s story is not an exception — it’s the lived experience of millions.

📺 Watch to understand why equitable cities must work for everyone — not just cars and commuters.

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.

📺 Watch Saylee’s story — and ask yourself: what kind of cities are we building for our children?

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.
