Join Women In International Security (WIIS) and the Embassy of Liechtenstein on June 22, 2023, at 11:00 AM (EDT) for a virtual discussion on how technology can increase women’s agency in decision-making, leadership, and collective action in the face of gender-based violence.
This event will specifically look at the situation of women in Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Ukraine and will discuss how technology can be harnessed to help women build agency and reduce their vulnerability and isolation. The discussion will take stock of the complex set of questions and issues related to women’s access to technology, the degree of digital literacy, and the specific needs for which the appropriate level of technology can serve–to protect women, create economic opportunities–while building the networks that enhance women’s agency.
