The Audiopedia Manifesto
Hundreds of millions of women and girls are denied their right to education, effectively preventing their empowerment.
In fact, the number of illiterate women worldwide has not decreased in the last thirty years.
For the sake of justice, we have to right this wrong.
It is a requirement of fairness to make knowledge accessible to each and every woman, better today than tomorrow. Access to knowledge is a fundamental human right.
Therefore we have to free knowledge from literacy.
For the first time ever we have the technologies to do this. We can turn accessible audio learning into a global driving force for women’s empowerment and gender equality.
Knowledge is power, open knowledge is empowerment. Let’s create a world where open knowledge empowers every woman, everywhere.

For the sake of justice, we have to right this wrong. It is a requirement of fairness to make knowledge and information accessible to each and every woman, better today than tomorrow.
Access to knowledge is a fundamental human right. And we have the solutions to make it happen.
TO LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEADERS AND ORGANIZATIONS:
Access to knowledge and information is a basic human right. It is intrinsically linked to the realization of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women and Girls.
We demand immediate and free access to knowledge and information for all women. Solutions to make this possible already exist.
