#PowerOn to create an equal digital future : International Women's Day 2023

Growing inequalities around the world are becoming increasingly evident in the context of digital skills and access to technologies, with women being left behind as the result of a digital gender divide. The need for inclusive and transformative technology and digital education is therefore crucial for a sustainable future.

Bringing women and other marginalized groups into technology results in more creative solutions and has greater potential for innovations that meet women’s needs and promote gender equality. Under the theme "DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality", the United Nations Observance of International Women's Day 2023 recognizes and celebrates the women and girls who are championing the advancement of transformative technology and digital education.

IWD 2023 also explores the impact of the digital gender gap on widening economic and social inequalities, with a spotlight on the importance of protecting the rights of women and girls in digital spaces and addressing online and ICT-facilitated gender-based violence. Join UN Women and together, we will #PowerOn to create an equal digital future for all.
