We are urging the world to look at technology as one of the key areas in which achieving gender equality can transform our societies.

How do we bring the voices calling for equal digital rights that need to be heard to the surface of the world wide web? 

By being consistent, collective and diverse.

#TechforEquality is a digital moment showcasing the power of intersectional and grassroots voices to generate commitments to make technology gender equal.
