About Us

- To conduct research and the development of projects, exhibitions, new initiatives, community activities, seminars and conferences;
- To promote and strengthen the acceptance of Women’s and Gender Museums worldwide;
- To achieve international recognition in the world of museums; and
- To advocate for women’s rights and a gender democratic society.
