Many countries limit or even deny their citizens’ access to internet, preventing women from enjoying their full human rights. This seminar focuses on two themes regarding girls’ and women’s rights online. Firstly, it will discuss girls’ and women’s equal and safe access to internet and technological innovations all over the world. Secondly, it brings forth insights across the globe on factors supporting women’s empowerment and generational equality, such as free platforms to learn IT skills and coding, which may ensure that internet is harnessed in support of women’s human rights.
