SPECIAL ISSUE — MARCH 2021
WSIS Forum Opening of the ICTs and Gender Mainstreaming special track
This 8th of March we celebrate International Women's Day with the Opening of the ICTs & Gender Mainstreaming Special Track at 13:00-14:00 CET with the participation of high-level officials.
The ICTs and Gender Mainstreaming special track will include a series of interactive sessions throughout the week with different topics covering gender and ICTs issues. ICTs are tools through which gender equality and women's empowerment can be advanced, and are integral to the creation of societies in which both women and men can substantively contribute and participate. This effort is also part of an initiative to address the gender gap in ICT and it aligns with SDG Goal 5 “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”. The cross-cutting commitments on gender equality are further echoed across all WSIS Action Lines.
