In today‘s world, the standard has traditionally been set by men, while women have often been treated as a marginal phenomenon. This gender inequality persists across various domains, including homes, workplaces, medicine, and transportation. While certain injustices, like street harassment in the form of catcalling, are publicly visible, many gaps have become so deeply ingrained in our daily lives that they often go unnoticed. Shedding light on these hidden disparities is the core focus of my thesis titled ‚mind the gap“. Mind the gap is a series which consists of short episodes, each created by different designers which vividly depict gender injustices that occur in everyday life

Did you know that women spend up to twice as long in public restrooms as men? This isn’t just because of longer queues—women often need more time due to factors like clothing, menstruation, and the need to assist children or the elderly. Despite this, public spaces often allocate equal or even more restroom space to men, leading to the frustrating phenomenon known as „potty parity.“ Same Space doesn’t equal equality. This invisible gender gap results in long lines and discomfort for women, highlighting a clear design flaw in our public infrastructure. „Mind the Gap“ aims to expose and challenge these everyday inequalities. Stay tuned as we uncover more hidden disparities in our daily lives! One new episode coming each month.
