In 2015, noting the absence of women at the podium of conferences related to mobility and transport, five women decided to found Femmes en Mouvement to change the game.

Women in Transport is a not-for-profit that empowers women in the industry to maximise their potential. Membership provides exclusive access to events, our professional development programmes and the All Party Parliamentary Group for Women in Transport.

In Austria, more than 20 CEOs of important transport and traffic research companies have agreed to sign the underlying Memorandum of Understanding, thus advocating an increase in the proportion of women in the transport sector.

The Federal Ministry has set up its own national platform “Women in Transport” for domestic implementation. After a kick-off and follow-up meeting, a project was commissioned in which concrete measures were developed for domestic companies to increase the proportion of women.

The women on Bicyle initiative s an effort by women to create a solidarity space for cycling women, give the courage, increase the number of women using the bicycle in their daily lives in Turkey and make them more visible in the cycling community.

TOPUK aims to improve women’s access to public transportation through participatory methods, addressing diverse challenges identified through resident surveys and workshops with local organizations. These challenges encompass issues ranging from streets to public transportation stops, vehicles, and open public spaces, often influenced by prevailing gender norms. The project seeks to create safer, more secure, and comfortable transportation experiences for women in Istanbul’s Maltepe district, potentially serving as a model for similar initiatives in other cities.

We stand for diversity in mobility.
We are committed to enriching the perspectives on mobility, visibility of our women and strengthening the ties in our network. So if you are someone or if you are looking for someone who has something to say about mobility, then you have come to the right place.

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.
