Overall, the discussion sparked inspiration, reflection, and action towards creating a more sustainable and equitable world for all.

This IWD, March 8th, we addressed the global need to inspire inclusion and invest in women. In the webinar shared by KIGEN, Bee (Bijal) Hayes-Thakore delves into the transformative power of technology in uplifting women across the globe. In an era where technological advancements are shaping the future and lives of many, this is still only the case for some, particularly women. Hear from several organisations fighting to change this by creating opportunities, breaking bias barriers, and fostering global gender equality through technology.

These thought leaders discuss the game-changing impact of digital inclusion and its effects on individuals and broader communities. Let’s explore how technology catalyzes positive and essential change in women’s lives.

Key Topics:

• Digital Inclusion barriers: Understanding and addressing the barriers that hinder women’s access to technology.
• Economic/Educational Empowerment: Exploring how technology opens doors for entrepreneurship, skill development, and career advancement for women.
• Overcoming Challenges: How do you safely open access to the internet and digital work opportunities where cultural barriers exist?
• Future Perspectives: How will we design future systems—digital and AI—with our learnings on inclusivity?

Join this meaningful conversation that aims to shape a more inclusive and empowering future for women through the lens of technology. Come for the discussion and leave with hope and tools to make a difference. Together, we hope to bring a dialogue that will move us toward a more equitable, empowered, and inclusive future.
