Ukrainian rail company Ukrzaliznytsia introduces the first women-only carriages on four long-distance train lines, two of which depart from the capital Kyiv, in a bid to improve the safety of its female passengers. "I feel more comfortable among women. Even more so if when I'm travelling alone," says Tetyana, who works in PR. The measure was announced by the railways following an electronic petition published in mid-May on the government website collected more than 25,000 signatures. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
