International Women’s Day 2023: “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality”
Women girls are disadvantaged when it comes to digital adoption, have lower levels of access to and use of digital technology than boys and men, and often are not benefitting from digital technology in the same way as boys, there is also a large gender gap in the number of women and men employed in the ICT sector with unequal economic outputs, fewer opportunities for professional growth, and difficulty in accessing leadership positions. This persistent gender gap in digital access keeps women from unlocking technology’s full potential.
