Transforming Voices is part of Reducing organisational vulnerability of women: applying organisational research in Mexican-US borderlands (WOV). 

WOV is an international research project developed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers based in Mexico, the UK and Spain, among other territories. WOV is led by Prof. Hugo Gaggiotti, University of the West of England, Bristol (PI) and Dr Isis Arlene Díaz Carrión, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Tijuana (Co-I). 

Co-funded by British and Mexican bodies, WOV utilises original impact-based methodologies to explore, and draw attention to, different forms of women organisational vulnerability in the Mexico-USA borderland and beyond.

Other projects produced by WOV include an app women in Tijuana (Mexico) can use to get different forms of help and support when encountering forms of vulnerability, as well as a podcast and blog series exploring and celebrating different acts of women organisational resilience.

All of WOV’s projects are participatory and developed in partnership with participants as well as their organisations, which include: Instituto Municipal de la Mujer de Tijuana, Mujeres Catadoras de Cerveza en México, Ellas Pueden Community, Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, Centro de Integración Cultural y Desarrollo de Personas Sordas, A.C., Ente binacional de Aguas and AFIN Research Group, among others.
