Mumbai has become the first Indian city to introduce female figures on its traffic lights, a move welcomed by women’s rights campaigners as a step towards greater inclusivity.
孟買已經成為第一座在交通燈號上採用女性圖樣的印度城市，這項受到女權運動者歡迎的舉措，是朝向更大包容性邁進的一步。
Authorities are swapping the green and red male stick figures on more than 100 pedestrian crossings to female figures as part of a broader plan to make roads more pedestrian-friendly.
當局正在將超過100個行人穿越道的綠色與紅色男性圖樣，換成女性圖樣，這是一項為了讓馬路更加友善行人的拓寬計畫的一部分。
"The signage reflects the character of the city... that it believes in gender equality and promotes women’s empowerment," said Kiran Dighavkar, assistant commissioner with Mumbai’s municipal corporation.
「這個號誌反映了城市的角色…相信是性別平等與提倡女性賦權的」，與孟買的市政公司合作的助理專員迪卡格說。
Women’s rights campaigners said the change may appear small, but was significant. In many Indian cities, women make up only a small proportion of the people on the streets.
女權運動者表示，這項改變可能是小的，但也是重大的。在許多印度城市，女性只佔街上人群很小的比例。
