Mujermigrante.mx: promoting human rights for migrant women


Description

ICTs help fulfill the government’s moral obligation to defend human rights, particularly of vulnerable individuals and communities. Today, women represent 50% of all migrants in Mexico. Mujermigrante.mx helps migrant women through the use of ICTs. The platform was created with the participation of more than 30 government and civil society organizations. Through web-enabled online easy to understand applications, videos, learning tools, chats and tutorials, it empowers women by granting access to information about human rights, health services, immigration support and government programs. The next phase of the project adds support for mobile devices.
