Mapping the World: women's information centers database

The Mapping the World database contains addresses and information about more than 400 women’s information centers around the world.

Women’s rights and empowerment through information

As far as Aletta is concerned, access to information is absolutely essential for women to be empowered and to secure their rights. In many places in the world, it is difficult for women to find or access the information they need. That is why Aletta developed the Mapping the World database.
