AI should not leave women behind

Last year was a landmark year for gender equality, marking the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action — a historic global commitment to gender equality. Recognizing this, global leaders and experts assembled in 2025 on the margins of the 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, to launch the Beijing+30 Action Agenda, laying out six key actions to accelerate empowerment of women and girls.

One of these actions is "a digital revolution" emphasizing the importance of ensuring that women and girls have equal access to new skills and opportunities that technology is opening up, while also being able to shape how these innovations are designed.
