The Action Coalition on Technology and Innovation for Gender Equality calls for a feminist approach to the Global Digital Compact to secure sustainable digitalization and build a digital community that benefits everyone. Recommendations include addressing gender dimensions of digital inequality, embedding gender in digital technologies, building inclusive innovation ecosystems, and making digital spaces safe.
The Action Coalition on Technology and Innovation for Gender Equality bring together public, civil society, and private partners to revitalise the global partnership for SDG 5 achievement and spark a global shift toward a gender-diverse digital transformation. Their request for a feminist approach to the Global Digital Compact is about more than just considering women and girls in their diversity; it is also the most effective way to secure sustainable digitalisation and build a digital community beneficial for everyone. They share a few recommendations that will enable us to reimagine digital collaboration and collectively build a future geared specifically toward this change:
1. Addressing the gender dimensions of digital inequality;
2. Embedding gender in digital technologies;
3. Building inclusive innovation ecosystems;
4. Making digital spaces safe.
