Title of a document: "Une ville à la mesure des femmes" dealing with safety issues, etc. I'll leave the title in French, of course, but would like to supply a translation in parentheses. Seems so simple but I'm spinning wheels this morning. Any help appreciated!

Why would you leave the title in French? That's odd .....I have never heard of not translating the title of an article etc

another one could be (different level) just as much for women citizens, or for female citizens alike or any of your owxn miwture of all this!!!

designed for women as well or thought out for women as well (or too) would be better, we have to keep the women as well idea, not JUST for woemen, would defeat the purpose, the idea being that special care and consideration has to be taken of women comfort and safety but that anything \"done just for them\" is no go and will never work or be accepted!!!
