Netherlands

In 2023, the city of Rotterdam joined the Carter Center’s Inform Women, Transform Lives program, a global campaign to help cities reach more women with information about public services that could benefit them. Rotterdam has tailored its activities to meet a specific need — providing services for survivors of online gender-based violence, complemented by a campaign to combat this issue.

Impact

Connecting women survivors of gender-based violence with municipal and social services through traditional and social media marketing
Raising awareness of and changing the dynamics that lead to gender-based violence

Active

Empowerment through Information

Through its groundbreaking Inform Women, Transform Lives campaign, The Carter Center 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 the Netherlands, this project has partnered with the city of Rotterdam.
