Leaders in digital rights from the UN, Member States and Civil Society will set the scene for a workshop where women at CSW67 will come together to make recommendations to the UN Tech Envoy for how their needs should be addressed in the new Global Digital Compact (GDC). The GDC must uphold the rights of women, girls and gender non-conforming individuals to safely access and use digital technologies free of violence.
In partnership with Generation Equality's Action Coalition Commitment Makers and Leaders we invite women's and girls’ rights organizations, civil society organizations that work on human rights/digital rights; young women-led organizations; activists and experts on violence against women and digital rights to join us.
Speakers include:
- Amandeep Singh Gill, Envoy on Technology, United Nations
- H.E. Mrs. Carmen Artigas Brugal, Secretary of State for Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence, Spain
- Tsitsi Matekaire, Equality Now
- Lopa Banerjee, Executive Coordinator of Generation Equality and Director, Civil Society Division, UN Women
