Join Casa Ucrania Foundation in celebrating International Women’s Day 2024 and the theme of DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality. Learn how we support migrant women and girls in accessing technology and innovation, promoting gender equality and empowerment.
This International Women’s Day (IWD), Casa Ucrania Foundation reaffirms its commitment to achieving gender equality for all women and girls, particularly those on the move.
Casa Ucrania supports this year’s United Nations Observance of IWD, DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality, by advocating for the full inclusion of women and girls, including migrants, in technology and innovation.
Under the theme Road to Equality:
Bridging the Digital Gender Divide in Migration, the Casa Ucrania Foundation celebrates the achievements of migrant women and girls in technology and innovation while raising awareness of existing barriers to their access to digital services.
The digital revolution offers transformative opportunities for the empowerment of women and girls. Increasing their access to economic, educational, and social opportunities within technology has the power to not only unlock their potential but also that of their communities and societies.
At the same time, women and girls continue to face many barriers to accessing technology, not only in terms of infrastructure and affordability but also due to discrimination and unequal access to skill development opportunities. It can be even more difficult for women and girls on the move.
IWD23 invites us to re-imagine technology that facilitates digital, financial, and social inclusion for migrants of all genders and promotes gender equality.
