The City of Los Angeles is a founding member of the City Hub And Network for Gender Equity (CHANGE), the first international coalition of cities committed to advancing gender equity in local governments and policies. Launched in Fall 2020 with fellow founding cities London, Barcelona, Freetown, Mexico City, and Tokyo, CHANGE will use the gender equity toolkit developed by the City of Los Angeles as a model for identifying disparities and implementing systemic changes across city operations. Member cities will promote gender equity initiatives and policies, exchange best practices in tackling gender-based injustice, and track their progress on eliminating disparities.
