About Mujeres en Movimiento

Mujeres en Movimiento is an initiative of 8 (former) female transport ministers and vice ministers from Latin America, who came together during the Women Mobilize Women Conference organized by TUMI in Leipzig in May 2018.

The Movement seeks to bring feminine power to the transport, energy and sustainability agenda. Leaders in different areas of mobility, energy and the environment, both from the public and private sectors, united to enhance capacities, knowledge, efforts and competences. Mujeres en Movimiento is committed to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations Organization.

The Urban Leaders – Global Program 2021: empowering women through knowledge and mentoring is a Leadership Program co-created by Mujeres en Movimiento – Women in Motion (WIM) and WomenMobilizeWomen (WMW). Ensuring women’s participation in the urban workforce, promoting female role models and empowering each other is at the core of the Program. In a combination of knowledge sessions and interactive mentoring this program aims to equip women with the tools, the network and the confidence to pursue their individual path in the transport sector for the long run.

The Program will be divided into two stages: the Female Leadership Course powered by Women in Motion and the Peer-to-Peer Mentoring powered by WomenMobilizeWomen.

WEBINAR SERIES GENDER & TRANSPORT

In July 2019, we held our first Webinar on women and transport and have since organised a monthly webinar on these topics. We have recognized through our webinars that mobility is not gender-neutral and that is it indispensable  to include the conpect in all phases of planning. This assertion is widely known and recognized, however, cities still face the challenge of how to address the issue and ground it in real processes.
