This report presents our findings from The Jane’s Walk - Chennai Edition. The route was observed through the lens of the quality of pedestrian infrastructure and accessibility in the region which were then compared with IRC (Indian Roads Congress) Guidelines. Participants included journalists, disability rights activists, researchers, urban planners, children, mothers and civil society members.

Based on our report, Moving Without Barriers, which documents the mobility challenges faced by persons with disabilities and senior citizens in Chennai, this pamphlet has been developed to creatively present the report’s key findings and personal stories. It brings lived experiences to the forefront, making the challenges of navigating Chennai’s streets more relatable and accessible to a wider audience.
