a. Recognising the scientific propensities of girls whose socio-economic
environment does not allow them to pursue a career in ICTs,
b. Developing in these girls capacities and skills that are beneficial to their pursuit

of education,
c. Encouraging companies to recruit talent regardless of origin or gender,
d. Strengthening and disseminating ethnic and cultural diversity as well as the

inclusion of women;

23. Invites member states to cooperate with corporations and businesses to close the
digital gender divide, by:
a. Promoting and introducing programs favouring girls’ involvement with digital

technologies,
b. Liaising with corporations to create new programmes aimed at teaching
women and girls to use ICTs,
c. Offering financial incentives to corporations that will offer such programmes;

24. Suggests that member States collectively support the achievement of equal pay within
work sectors through methods such as annual inspections of companies, similar to
routine maintenance or health and safety inspections, to further gather data on the

topic as well as to promote and enforce equality;

25. Suggests the implementation of:
a. Intensive targeting via encouraging the education of girls in STEM from an early
age combined with teaching digital literacy to women and girls, alongside
regulating and enforcing more funding into developing lower decile schools

which have significantly fewer opportunities than private schools due to lack of
facilities and funding,
b. A collective local, regional, and national set timeframe, such as a 10 year

period between 2022 and 2032, during which the State, region or community
would aim to achieve the goal of allowing 75% of women to have access to
technology, as well as the ability to use it and connect to the internet;

26. Requests the creation of a new United Nations fund, which takes into account the
relative economic, political, environmental and educational needs for a successful

campaign against the gender digital divide, so as to ensure the amount is appropriate
to the many changes which need to be made, thus allowing progress to be made on
digital inclusion without depleting the aid put into other areas
