WSIS Forum 2022 - Launch of the Repository of Women in Technology
WSIS Forum 2022 ICTs and Gender Mainstreaming
WSIS Stocktaking Repository of Women in Technology
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Process affirms the importance of promoting and maintaining gender equality and women empowerment, guaranteeing the inclusion of women in the emerging global ICT society, and emphasizes the need to fully integrate gender equality perspectives in WSIS related strategies and facilitate their implementation to ensure that the Information Society enables women’s empowerment and full participation based on equality in all spheres of society and in all decision-making processes.
At the request of and in collaboration with WSIS Stakeholders a repository of Women in Tech has been launched.
The goal is to identify and connect women leaders and practitioners in all sectors of the ICT industry from all regions and engage them in events, forums (e.g., WSIS Forum) and activities such as various workshops, training courses, networking events, aimed at fostering a dialogue on the use of ICTs as a means for implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
