IN-MOVE by Railgrup announces the creation of a new in-move Working Group dedicated to women in the mobility sector: Women on the Move. The primary objective of this group is to promote gender equality, diversity and inclusion in all areas related to mobility, thus seeking a more equitable and prosperous sector.
Throughout history, women have been underrepresented in the mobility field, and we strongly believe that it is essential to address this disparity in order to drive positive and meaningful change in the industry. With this new Task Force, we are committed to taking concrete steps to achieve equality and empower women in all facets of the mobility industry.

Fundamental Principles
Encourage the active participation of women: We want to create a safe, valued and empowering environment in which women feel encouraged to participate fully in technical, managerial and decision-making roles in mobility. We will promote equal opportunity and remove barriers to women's full participation in this industry.
2. Promote equal representation: We commit to actively seek equal representation of women in all stages of mobility development, from research to governance. We recognize that greater diversity in the industry leads to more informed decision-making and more innovative solutions.
3. Foster training and professional development opportunities: Through educational programs, mentoring and support networks, we will promote opportunities for growth and excellence in technical and leadership skills for women in the mobility industry.
4. Foster inclusive research and innovation: We recognize the importance of research and innovation to improve mobility. We are committed to promoting inclusive approaches that take into account gender perspectives and address the needs and concerns of all people in the planning and design of sustainable transportation systems.
