While traditional societal structures often perpetuate gender inequities, ICT and digitalisation have the potential to bridge these gaps. For instance, they offer avenues for remote work or entrepreneurship, providing flexibility that can be particularly beneficial for women who face constraints due to caregiving responsibilities or societal norms limiting their mobility.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the adoption of digital tools has given rise to platforms that amplify women's voices and causes. Social media, blogging, and online communities have become powerful instruments for advocacy, empowering women to discuss pertinent issues, share experiences, and mobilize for change on a global scale. This connectivity has facilitated solidarity across borders, fostering movements for gender equality and women's rights. This change only comes about by pursuing gender equty purposefully, as SPIDER does.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Yet, amidst these positive strides, there exist digital divides that disproportionately affect women. Disparities in access to technology, digital literacy, and online safety persist, impacting women in marginalised communities more profoundly. This accentuates existing societal inequalities, hindering the full realisation of the potential benefits of digitalisation.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in various sectors introduces nuanced concerns regarding gender bias. Algorithms trained on historical data often perpetuate existing gender stereotypes, inadvertently reinforcing societal biases in decision-making processes. Addressing these biases demands a concerted effort to ensure that AI systems are developed ethically and inclusively.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, the linkages between women, gender, and ICT amidst digitalisation are multifaceted. While technology presents opportunities for empowerment and advocacy, the challenges of access, inclusivity, and gender bias underscore the imperative of a comprehensive approach towards harnessing technology for gender equality and societal progress.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_2 et_pb_specialty_fullwidth et_pb_with_background  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_specialty section_has_divider et_pb_top_divider et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_top_inside_divider et-no-transition\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_row et_block_row et_d4_element et_pb_gutters1\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4    et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_dark\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>How SPIDER advances gender equity in technology<\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_0 et_pb_divider_position_center et_pb_space\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_dark\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"color: #eef9fa;\">Inclusion, representation and intersectionality should never be an afterthought.
