Harnessing Technology to Advance Gender Equality
Join GIWPS for the fifth panel of our five-part virtual event series on how to advance gender equality. The series draws on findings from a groundbreaking report by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) and The Rockefeller Foundation, “Beijing+25: Accelerating Progress for Women and Girls.”
The conversation will focus on the particular promise of technology for boosting women’s economic participation and accelerating gender equality. With the COVID-19 pandemic reinforcing the importance of closing digital gender gaps in order to build back more equitably, panelists will spotlight how we can best use technology as an accelerator for gender equality, and ensure that women are at the center of our rapidly digitizing world.
Please RSVP on eventbrite to receive the Zoom link. The program will also be livestreamed on GIWPS’ Facebook page. This event will have live closed captioning.
