The annual event will also address the existing gaps for women and girls in accessing digital spaces and skills, as well as the dangers they face from online violence. She added: “Our vision of equality, of what our world could be, for all of us, can and will include the equal enjoyment of the fruits of technology and innovation without fear of violence or abuse of any sort. The disparity between women and men and girls and boys in relation to digital adoption and their relative opportunities to access, use, and benefit from digital technology remain a major barrier to equal participation in tech design and governance. Women and girls remain underrepresented across the creation, use, and regulation of technology. Their creativity, knowledge and perspectives can shape a future where technology contributes to transforming social norms, amplifying women’s voices, pushing forward against online harassment, preventing the perpetuation of algorithmic biases, and distributing the benefits of digitalization as the great equalizer to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.” And when women are under-represented in developing new technologies, discrimination may be baked in from the start”.

Celebrating women in tech this International Women's Day (Moodle)

International Women's Day is an important day to push for gender equality and shine a well-deserved spotlight on the women in our lives.

Aya feels that there are less growth opportunities for women in the tech industry: “It is very rare to find a women as the head of a department or in a tech lead role in the industry. By working together, we can help more women and girls to have the same freedom and opportunities to live the life they desire. Technology and digital education can also help to improve gender equality and empowerment for women in this way. You can gain all of the benefits of working in tech without having a technical background or working in a hands-on technical position.” Present-day role models are particularly important to showcase all of the possibilities to women who are passionate about technology and it’s potential to make a difference. While we are becoming increasingly aware of the inequalities women face in access to technology and digital skills, it is vital that they aren’t left behind as a result. You can choose the industry you want to work in and there is a world of opportunities. Even with additional barriers to working in the industry, women have championed the advancement of transformative technology and, with increasing importance, digital education. We are also committed to supporting women in the world of technology. Today is a day to recognise the achievements of women around the world. This International Women’s Day is the perfect opportunity to reflect on how equality in the technology industry could be achieved. At Moodle, the concept of equity is one that reflects our core values, as we strive to help provide fair and equitable access to education for people of all genders.
