If you consider carrying out gender mainstreaming the next accordions gives you some resources to begin this proces. The bibliography provides you with an up to date list of publications in a wide range of topics relating to the area. The list of experts suggests some of the european researchers who have worked in this area. The gender screening section is the gender screening that the Transgen project carried out, covering sections of the European transport sector.

Anette Dina Sørensen: "Køn i Trafikken" in Nikk's Nyhedsside, d. 18.1. 2008.

Anette Dina Sørensen: "Fars bil og mors metro", in Webmagasinet forum for køn og kultur, Kvinfo, d. 18.1. 2008.

As part of the Transgen project we carried out a literature search on gender and transport in relevant databases, and we are including a full list of references here. The list also contains the theoretical references that we use in the report. The bibliography can also be found on our webside. We have subdivided the bibliography into relevant themes relating to the sections of the report. The themes are:

• Gender and gender equality
• Gender mainstreaming the transport sector
• Travel patterns
• Gendered meanings, identities and everyday lives
• Gender and transport technologies
• Imaginations: popular culture, art and aesthetics
• Fear and safety in public space

• Employment
• Statistical ressources
• Gender mainstreaming plans and transport plans
