Empowerment through Information

Through its groundbreaking Inform Women, Transform Lives campaign, Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà partners with city leaders worldwide to raise awareness about women’s right to access information and to help cities reach women with valuable information and essential municipal services.  

Access to this information empowers women with a stronger voice, enabling them to participate in public life, utilize public services, and make more informed decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities. In Tunisia, the project has partnered with the city of Tunis.
