| Summary, etc. | Women’s urban mobility has been studied for over 50 years, raising important questions about their place in contemporary cities. At night, concerns about safety and accessibility become particularly acute, especially in countries of the Global South. This article addresses a knowledge gap by presenting the first study comparing the night-time street-crossing behavior of women and men in the city center of Sousse, Tunisia. The sample includes 13,581 pedestrians observed via four cameras at six pedestrian crossings and two roundabouts (39% women, 61% men). The analysis first describes the differences in behavior according to gender, dividing the night into four periods (dusk, nightfall, after midnight, early morning) and examining crossing pace, direction, and safety. These results are then compared with overall sample averages. Next, two gender-specific econometric regressions identify factors influencing night-time crossings. The results indicate a general disregard for other modes of transport at night, leading to riskier and sometimes illegal behavior, especially among men. Women adopt more cautious practices, linked to age, group composition, attention to vehicles, crossing duration, and time of night. These findings shed light on the role of social and cultural norms in shaping women’s use of public space and highlight the need for appropriate safety policies and legislation. |

| Summary, etc. | La mobilité urbaine des femmes est étudiée depuis plus de 50 ans et renvoie à des enjeux variés de leur place dans la ville contemporaine. La nuit, les questions de sécurité et d’accessibilité prennent une importance croissante, notamment dans les contextes du Sud. Cet article comble un manque de connaissances en proposant la première étude comparant le comportement nocturne des femmes et des hommes lors de la traversée de rue au centre-ville de Sousse (Tunisie). L’échantillon comprend 13 581 piétons observés par quatre caméras sur six passages piétons et deux ronds-points (39 % de femmes, 61 % d’hommes). L’analyse décrit d’abord les différences de comportements selon le sexe, en divisant la nuit en quatre périodes (crépuscule, tombée de la nuit, après minuit, tôt le matin) et en examinant le rythme, l’orientation et le niveau de sécurité des traversées. Ces résultats sont comparés aux moyennes de l’ensemble de l’échantillon. Ensuite, deux régressions économétriques, spécifiques à chaque sexe, identifient les facteurs influençant la traversée nocturne. Les résultats montrent une indifférence générale aux autres modes de transport la nuit, favorisant des comportements plus risqués et illégaux, surtout chez les hommes. Les femmes adoptent des pratiques plus prudentes, liées à l’âge, à la composition du groupe, à l’attention portée aux véhicules, à la durée de traversée et au moment de la nuit. Ces constats éclairent l’impact des normes sociales et culturelles sur l’usage féminin de l’espace public et soulignent la nécessité de politiques et législations de sécurité adaptées. |
