The WSIS Coalition is an industry group representing major global ICT companies involved in many aspects of the Internet ecosystem. We affirm our commitment to bridging the Digital Gender Divide and through effective cooperation with governments, the private sector, civil society and multilateral organizations, aim to convert this shared commitment into action.
In our submission, we reiterate the critical actions laid out by the Action Plan to Close the Digital Gender Gap, which was launched by WSIS+10 in 2015:
1. Developing gender responsive strategies and policies.
2. Ensuring access to ICTs by women and girls and addressing the factors that hinder their use of technology.
3. Building the digital capacities of women and girls.
4. Promoting women in the technology sector, particularly in positions of decision-making.
5. Establish multi-stakeholder partnerships.
