ITU/UN Women EQUALS in Tech Panel Discussion: Closing the gender digital divide (OF26)

Launched by ITU and UN Women in 2014, the EQUALS in Tech Awards (formerly known as the GEM-TECH Awards) celebrate initiatives that are closing the gender digital divide. The annual EQUALS in Tech Awards are a contribution from ITU and UN Women to EQUALS, the Global Partnership for Digital Gender Equality. The panel session will be held to give the winners of the EQUALS in Tech Award the opportunity to share their experiences and commitment towards bridging the gender digital divide as a way of promoting the social and economic inclusion of girls and women.
