International Women’s Day

The topic of this Twitter Space discussion is, ‘How does Technology Advance Gender Equality?’ The discussion is a semiformal one, aimed at generating insights and drawing the attention of attendees to ways that digital and information technology can either increase the gender gap or ultimately lead to the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.

This International Women’s Day webinar is bringing together leading women in technology and women empowerment to discuss the theme, ‘Technology as a Tool to Advance Gender Equality’.
The aim of the discussion is to highlight how technology contributes to closing the gender gap in education and the workspace while ensuring a reduction in the perpetration of technology-induced violence against women and girls.
The webinar also aims to garner recommendations on the actions that the technology industry and the government can take to close the gender gap in the use and adoption of technology, ultimately leading to the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.
