Empowering Civil Society and Municipalities for Data-Driven Participatory Gender Equality Policies

2021 - 2022

“Empowering Civil Society and Municipalities for Data-Driven Participatory Gender Equality Policies” Project, aims to provide accessible data on gender inequalities and their distribution at the neighborhood level in İzmir and Balıkesir, and to highlight the importance of data-driven decision making by visualizing this data on an interactive platform. By doing so, the project aims to increase the advocacy activities of civil society organizaitons by strengthening the cooperation between CSOs and local governments. Access to spatial and urban evidence will allow women’s CSOs to present new, diversified and tangible demands for urban governance based on gender equality to municipalities and other public institutions. Women’s CSOs will find opportunities for informed participation and advocacy for gender equality.
