Back to Map

In 2022, Montevideo joined the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ’s Inform Women, Transform Lives global campaign to raise awareness about women’s right to information. To address the prevalence of domestic and gender-based violence, the city tailored its campaign to focus on services available for survivors.

Short-term Goals

We partner with the city of Montevideo to empower women, especially survivors of domestic and gender-based violence, with access to information.

Impact

  • The project uses a WhatsApp number to share information and resources with survivors. Social media and in-person events engage with people about the campaign.
  • The city commissioned a community mural to illustrate the transformative power of women’s access to information.

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 Uruguay, the project has partnered with the city of Montevideo.
