Women overcoming challenges in AI
Good artificial intelligence (AI) requires women in the data, in the workforce, and at the policy-making table. Discover how women are breaking tech barriersGender equality
We promote gender equality by encouraging women and girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Accessibility
We strive to ensure technology access for persons with disabilities through tech accessibility standards, awareness-raising, and education.
“In a world where women still account for a disproportionate and growing share of the global offline population, gender equality is an urgent necessity. We cannot build the innovative, safe and sustainable digital future we need without half of humanity.”
