Join Equality Now, Alliance for Universal Digital Rights (AUDRi), Women Leading in AI; UN Women; the Government of Spain, and the Government of Finland for a convening on Monday, March 6, 2023, from 2:00-4:00 PM EST.
This is a workshop where women at CSW67 will come together to make recommendations to the UN Tech Envoy for how their needs should be addressed in the new Global Digital Compact (GDC).
