Is digitization the path to gender equality and women empowerment?
Information:
Digitization is synonymous with the future, but we have to ensure that this future reaches everyone equally. We want digitization to be at the service of inclusion, gender equality and social justice, placing the people in the center.
It´s very important to reduce the gender gap in digital transformation. We are facing a lack of female leadership in technology and also we face another challenge undeniable: the skills gap. And finally, if we want women to dedicate themselves to technology, they cannot face an environment employment with salary discrimination.

Investing in Women and Digital Technologies
Information:
https://ngocsw67forum.events.whova.com/Agenda/2866509
Education and training must ensure that labour is equipped with the skills in the digital technologies. There must be a collective push to channel investments in women and girls, particularly in skills development that reduces gender-based sectoral and occupational segregation. Investment is urgently needed in training women in STEM. Incentivization and collaboration with the private sector are needed to attract more women to tech jobs, and to diversify the pipeline creating these new technologies. Assessments should be made on the displacements of women in industries due to automation, AI and deep tech.
The panel will focus on several aspects of women and digital technologies, specifically on the conditions which should be fulfilled to give women a secure work environment. Digital technologies hold many dangers beside facilitating and accelerating work. Both aspects will be discussed in this panel.

How to make actions for gender mainstreaming in entrepreneurship
Information: https://ngocsw67forum.events.whova.com/Agenda/2885734
National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Japan (BPW Japan) will present this event. The concept of gender mainstreaming was raised in Beijing Platform for Action in 1995, about 30 years ago. However, it has been difficult for many organizations and government agencies to put this strategy into practice, at least in Japan. This event will show how to apply this strategy to actual practices by overviewing women’s entrepreneurship and the way of supporting it’s starts-up in Japan as examples. We will provide the platform for all participants to exchange their experiences, views, and information on the actual situation in each country in a small-group discussion format.
The questions participants discuss at a small group discussion are:
- Is female starting a business common in your country/community?
- What do you think is difficult in female starting a business?
- What kind of support is necessary for female starting a business?
Last Question which will be shared on Jamboard is:
What do you think is necessary to promote gender mainstreaming in entrepreneurship?
Looking forward to seeing you !!

Information:
https://ngocsw67forum.events.whova.com/Agenda/2861826
The pandemic and the widening urban-rural divide obviously present paramount challenges to women, especially the elderly or even mid-age generation. However, in our event, we aim to showcase several best practices in Asia where women begin to utilize information and communication technology (ICT) to broaden women networking capacity and to facilitate participation either in the political and public life or in the privatesector. With aid of digital tools, female leadership strives to provide innovative services to the most needed population while serving as online mentors to empower other women to assume roles of non-traditional leader.

Addressing the challenges of women in rural areas : Leveraging digital transformation for sustainability
Information:
The discussion will zero in on how women can actively co-innovate and utilize agricultural techniques and
technologies that improve agricultural productivity, increase economic autonomy, and occupy leadership roles in rural life. We present experiences, best practices, testimonials from Benin to Romania, from France
to Nepal, to Turkey on rural women and their access to loans, land and technology. We will uncouple power dynamics and discriminatory societal norms, finding collectively the means to bridge the gap in order to propose entry points to accomplish deep-seated and long-lasting change.
Digital transformation and emerging technology solutions can help a gender-just sustainability journey
while creating more gender-responsive, intelligent and inclusive communities.
