According to the UN, the absence of women from the digital world has cost the gross domestic product of low- and middle-income countries about one trillion US dollars over the course of a decade.
On Wednesday we celebrate International Women’s Day declared by the UN. This year’s theme is the utilization of innovation and technology in gender equality.
According to the UN, bringing women and other marginalized groups into technology produces even more creative solutions and promotes innovations that meet women’s needs and develop gender equality.
On the other hand, the non-participation of women costs significantly: the UN last year’s assessment according to the fact that women are not involved in the digital world, has cost the gross domestic product of low- and middle-income countries about a trillion US dollars over the course of a decade.
of the UN Gender Equality Organization of UN Women only less than a quarter of those working with artificial intelligence are women, and numerous artificial intelligence systems have been found to show unequal treatment of the sexes.
In addition, UN Women points out that the internet is often a threatening place for women, which drives women away from digital spaces. According to a survey of female journalists in 125 countries, almost three quarters had experienced online violence at work.
The principle of gender equality was confirmed in 1945 in the UN Charter.
