Women Mobilize Women works towards building more feminist transport and mobility systems in our cities by empowering women asboth workers and users; and is underpinned by a data-driven approach.
Women Mobilize Women launched the Global Alliance for Feminist Transport, jointly with Women on the Move and Women in Motion. With this community-based platform, our mission is to unite and empower organizations, networks, and individuals working towards gender-equitable transport systems worldwide. Our shared vision is to act as the leading voice on feminist sustainable transport by providing a spotlight on who, how and what are moving our cities towards greater gender equity in transport and mobility.
In a significant leap for the global transport sector, different organizations working in the field of gender and mobility – including Safetipin from India, Women on the Move (WotM) from Asia, Mujeres en Movimiento (Women in Motion) from LATAM, and Women Mobilize Women (WMW) announced plans to form a global alliance. This alliance seeks to unite feminist transport initiatives across the world, collectively working towards gender-responsive sustainable transport systems and set a global agenda for the topic looking forward.
The second Building Feminist Cities workshop was held at the Asia and the Pacific Transport Forum 2024 in Manila. Over two sessions, we explored what it means to develop truly inclusive, sustainable transport systems for the 21st century. Thanks to the positive feedback, the next two Building Feminist Cities workshops are already confirmed for this year and will take place in Brasilia and Nairobi.
This event series aims to foster a diverse, global community dedicated to creating more feminist, resilient, and adaptable transport systems capable of handling increasing societal and climate challenges.
In this four-week course by Women Mobilize Women, you’ll learn why gender matters in transport and mobility. Focusing particularly on emerging economies, you’ll explore what happens when we bring gender and mobility issues together, and how gender-sensitive planning could improve transport access for everyone. The course is interactive, self-paced, free, and only takes three hours of study time per week.
