We empower Women in Transport

In May 2018 the Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) launched Women Mobilize Women as the first conference to empower women in transport, with 200 female as well as male transport experts gathering in Leipzig, Germany. Today, Women Mobilize Women is a network of female change makers from all over the world, seeking to actively transform the mobility sector to become more diverse. In addition, Women Mobilize Women aims to raise awareness to the topic of gender and transport amongst planners and decision-makers in the transport sector.

E-Learning Course: An Introduction to Gender and Mobility in Emerging Economies

5 Years of Women Mobilize Women

The launch of Women Mobilize Women was full of inspiration and enthusiasm. Over 150 participants – most of them women – from different fields and countries came together in Leipzig to share their experiences and ideas on how to transform our cities so that no-one is left behind.

Out of this conference came the desire to sustain and develop the energy and cohesion of the participating women. Thus, the Women Mobilize Women initiative was born to connect and empower women worldwide who are committed to inclusive and sustainable mobility.

What started as a conference theme in 2018 has become a global network. In honor of Women Mobilize Women’s five-year anniversary, we made the TUMI 2023 Conference theme “Feminist Voices In Transport”. In this magazine, we look back at WMW’s journey in five years of learning, inspiration and community. Happy anniversary to all of us and enjoy reading!

Thank you to everyone who made the #TUMI2023 Conference on #FeministVoicesInTransport an inspiring event. We believe that the connections and ideas shared during this conference will have a lasting impact.
