On March 8th 2021, the City of Atlanta was proud to partner with the Carter Center for their global Inform Women, Transform Lives Campaign aimed at raising awareness about women’s right to information in 12 inaugural cities: Amman, Jordan; Atlanta, USA; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Cape Town, South Africa; Chicago, USA; Colombo, Sri Lanka; Dhaka, Bangladesh; Dublin, Ireland; Guatemala City, Guatemala; Kampala, Uganda; Lima, Peru; Monrovia, Liberia; and São Paulo, Brazil.

In 2022, the campaign expanded to add 12 more: Birmingham, United Kingdom; Bogota, Colombia; Casablanca, Morocco; Dhaka North, Bangladesh; Freetown, Sierra Leone; Maputo, Mozambique; Montevideo, Uruguay; Nairobi, Kenya; Paris, France; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Tunis, Tunisia; and Washington, D.C., USA.

Women around the world are the least likely to demand and receive access to information yet are the most in need of this powerful tool. Mayor Andre Dickens is committed to ensuring that all women in Atlanta receive key information from the City in equitable ways to live safe, prosperous lives, and to strengthen their communities.
