Instituto Caminhabilidade

About

The Walkability Institute (Instituto Caminhabilidade) is a women-led Brazilian non-profit organization founded in 2012. Fueled by a sense of urgency to promote gender equity and combat the climate crisis, the Walkability Institute's mission revolves around prioritizing people and walking in urban development. To achieve its goals, the organization facilitates collaborative projects and initiatives focused on vulnerable populations, especially in marginalized areas. The Institute acts as a bridge between civil society, government, and various stakeholders, working on two main fronts: promoting a culture of walking and humanizing cities. The organization's ultimate goal is to create fairer environments that enhance the quality of life for all, emphasizing accessibility, sustainability, safety, inclusivity, health, and vitality.
