From the earliest days of computing to the present age of virtual reality and artificial intelligence, women have made untold contributions to the
digital world in which we increasingly live. Their accomplishments have been against all odds, in a field that has historically neither welcomed nor appreciated them.
Today, a persistent gender gap in digital access keeps women from unlocking technology’s full potential. Their under-representation in STEM education and careers remains a major barrier to their participation in tech design and governance. And the pervasive threat of online gender-based violence—coupled with a lack of legal recourse—too often forces them out of the digital spaces they do occupy.
At the same time, digital technology is opening new doors for the global
empowerment of women, girls and other marginalized groups. From
gender-responsive digital learning to tech-facilitated sexual and
reproductive healthcare, the digital age represents an unprecedented
opportunity to eliminate all forms of disparity and inequality.
Like every year, EYA supported Tanzania’s celebration of Women’s Day.
