Are you a transport worker who has faced violence or intimidation at work? Are you a woman? Then this survey is for you.  

The European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) has launched a new survey to gather real stories from women on the front lines of transport work. The aim is to collect testimonies directly from women working in all areas of the transport sector. 

This survey is more than just data collection, it’s about building strong evidence to push employers, governments and institutions to take concrete action, informed by the reality of women transport workers.  

Take the survey here and help build a safer transport industry for all.

If this doesn’t affect you directly, but you know a woman working in transport who has been affected, please ask them to fill out this important survey.  

Fórsa national secretary and head of the union’s services and enterprises division, Katie Morgan, said: “Every single woman in the transport industry deserves to work without fear. This ETF survey is your chance to contribute to the collective demand to stop violence and harassment against women transport workers. Violence and harassment are sadly part of daily life for far too many women in the transport sector. Women continue to face abuse, intimidation and harassment for simply doing their jobs. And yet, too often, their voices go unheard, their experiences are dismissed, and this problem is ignored. Together, we can demand safer workplaces for every woman in transport.” 

The ETF said: “As we all know, violence against transport workers has been on the rise since the recent pandemic. This must end. Together we can make a change. For this reason, the women's committee of the European Transport Workers' Federation has decided to conduct the survey ‘Violence and harassment against women transport workers’. Although we know that all transport workers suffer from violence, this survey is specifically for women transport workers, and we kindly ask you to support it. Your voices and real experiences are essential in helping the ETF expose the extent of the problem and fight for safer, fairer workplaces.” 

If you would like to fill in the survey in a different language, you can choose from several options available here.
