Detailed Description

In riot control operations, ensuring female staff’s safety and equality is crucial. Based on pertinent information and insights, this research analyses design factors for riot control vehicles that specifically respond to the demands of female workers. These vehicles seek to improve the efficiency, comfort, and safety of female front-line workers by analysing the difficulties experienced by women in riot control scenarios and implementing gender-sensitive characteristics. The importance of offering safe and comfortable seating, adaptable safety equipment, and enhanced visibility from inside the vehicle is highlighted in this paper. It emphasises the significance of lightweight yet sturdy construction materials to facilitate ease of operation for female staff. The findings of this report aim to inform the development of riot control vehicles that prioritise the well-being and effectiveness of women personnel, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and effective response to civil unrest.
