Mapping the Sustainable Development Goals to promote gender-responsive technology
Inclusive technology can only be achieved by addressing access and usage gaps. These include barriers such as affordability, skills development and engendered and cultural norms. The UN have listed specific objectives in the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) to bridge the digital divide and promote gender-responsive technology. Creating an integrated enabling environment will help achieve our key objectives.
This year marked the tenth anniversary of the United Nations’ ‘Girls in ICT Day,’ celebrating the empowerment and engagement of women and girls in technology. A decade on, we look at the
