Women Friendly Leeds

Funded by Comic Relief, Women’s Lives Leeds and Leeds Women’s and Girls’ Hubs are working towards a city that is better for women, better for everyone.

The United Nations already have a Women Friendly City initiative, which defines a WFC as:

A City where women can:

• Can access health, education and social services.

• Can access employment opportunities.

• Can access high quality and comprehensive urban services (such as transportation, accommodation and security).

• Can access mechanisms that will guarantee their rights in the event they are subjected to violence.

A City where:

• Local governments take into account women’s issues and perspectives in their planning and decision-making processes.

• Women are supported and encouraged to participate in all areas of urban life on an equal basis with men.
