Women’s rights and empowerment

Women who want to stand up for their rights and to improve their position in society need access to information. That is why Aletta collects as much information as possible about women’s rights, empowerment, and cultural heritage and shares this information with women all over the world.

Cultural heritage

Aletta collects, preserves and shares the cultural heritage of the women’s movement. By recording women’s history from the past and the present, we are adding new pages to the canon of Dutch history.
