Background
In our streets (in full exclusion) - is an initiative of the Tel Aviv municipality, which tells the stories of the women behind the names of the streets in the city.
The project was held during the gender equality week in Tel Aviv, which was held in March. The project began with placing signs in 2022 (16 signs) and continued in 2023 (16 more signs), in 2024 no sign was placed.
In many cases, the street is named on the day the sign was placed, for example the sign telling the story of Nadia Hilou
, accompanied by a ceremony to name a street after her

About the signs
The signs are made of metal, placed on the ground, in their upper part there is an illustration of the woman on the sign (every year, the artist who draws the characters changes), and below details about the personality.
At the bottom of the sign is a fixed text, which repeats in all the signs about the project. And also the QR code leading to the project page on the Internet
Initially (year 2022) it seems that the signs are temporary and will be removed after the Womens Week celebrations in Tel Aviv. Today, two years later, the signs are still up, so it looks like theyre here to stay
