This year, the theme for International Women’s Day hits especially close to home: “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.”

In a 2022 report, the UN estimated that women’s exclusion from the world of digital and technology has shaved $1 trillion from the GDP of low- and middle-income countries in the last decade. Without change, that cost is expected to reach $1.5 trillion by 2025. 

Breaking this pattern means more than just hiring more female engineers, software developers, and UX designers; technology and digital as a whole need to become more gender-responsive. 

At DEPT®, we believe technology’s latest innovations can be used to advance gender equality by taking advantage of machine learning to crack down on online harassment, using revolutionary connectivity to make education for careers within STEM more inclusive, and pioneering AI to end gender discrimination in healthcare. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

To celebrate the achievements of women already working to realise the DigitALL future and raise awareness of the ongoing struggle for gender equality, we’re hosting four International Women’s Day events featuring exciting local speakers and experts.
