3 Conclusions

It has been six years since the launch of the Digital Literacy Campaign. The number of women benefitting
from ITU’s and TCF’s efforts are increasing every day. Given the significant strides that this campaign has
managed to make in less than a decade, it would be advantageous to continue with it and to collaborate
directly with national governments (especially in developing countries), to ensure that women are equipped
with a basic knowledge of technologies to increase their digital literacy and to advance their career prospects,
as envisaged by SDG 5.”
