Taxi Safety Report
Organization: Yukon Women's Coalition

Format: Document
Type(s): Report

Topic(s): Adults
Language(s): English

Although the Yukon Women's Coalition (YWC) has successfully advocated for some
changes to the City of Whitehorse Vehicle for Hire (VFH) Bylaw (2018-26), it is evident
that taxis are still not a safe transportation option, particularly for Indigenous women.
In response to a public outcry about sexualized violence that occurred in a Whitehorse
taxi in early 2021, YWC launched a survey to hear directly from community members
about what was happening and what needs to change.

This report outlines the results and contains graphic descriptions of violence. 
The survey was available to the public in both French and English for nine days in
February 2021. During this period, 174 people responded, 160 of whom identified as
women. The report details the results.

 

*Note- contains descriptions of violence which may be impactful for readers.
