Kota Kita is a non-profit organization based in Solo, Indonesia working to bridge dialogues between governments and citizens by facilitating the involvement of all citizens — especially the marginalized and excluded. Because without these voices, we will never realize a city shaped and informed by empowered citizens — A City for All.

The organization has some focus on women. For instance, “Women on Wheels”, a multifaceted Pilot Project in the city of Surakarta was implemented between 2015-2018 to promote cycling as a way to empower women and girls to fully and equally participate in socio-economic attainment, while promoting the values of sustainable and liveable cities.

The Urban Catalysts provide consulting services on developing sustainable transport and urban planning policies, street design, station accessibility projects, transit oriented development, capacity building and implementation support.

We are a not-for-profit women’s organisation and resource centre working for the empowerment of women and girls. With 14 people leading the way, we have the backing of a strong volunteer base and a number of ambassadors lending their support to our cause. To add to that, on the left, you will see our partners (Stand Up Against Violence) in this movement to make India a gender just country.

The Allianz pro Schiene (“Pro Rail Alliance”) is Germany’s most extraordinary transport association. It unites 24 non-profit organizations and more than 150 railway sector companies, which collaboratively aim at the promotion and improvement of rail traffic in Germany.

Also the organization has a focus on gender. One instance is the initiative “Women’s Network: Mobility needs women”. With this, it questions why the railway industry is one of the classic male domains and if this has to stay that way?. It is with this regard that leading female managers in the industry asked themselves this question and founded the “Mobility needs women” network under the umbrella of the Pro-Rail Alliance.

UpGirl is a Chilean transportation app created strictly to mobilize women and children.

For some time now, we have seen women-oriented passenger transport initiatives; this is in order to offer a space where we can feel safe, both as drivers and users. It is from this scenario that UpGirl was born.
