This year the theme of the International Women’s Day is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality” which is aligned with the priority theme for the upcoming 67th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW-67), “Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls”.
A gender-responsive approach to innovation, technology and digital education can facilitate a full social and economic inclusion of women and girls.
In order to celebrate the International Women’s Day of 2023 which is also the EU Year of Skills, the UfM will organise an online event on March 7 to discuss about concrete solutions and good practice to ensure full access to innovation and technology for women and girls in the Euro-Mediterranean region.
The event will also promote the upcoming UfM-UNIDO Women Business Forum 2023 on Women in Industry and Innovation, which will take place on 6-7 June 2023 In Tunisia.
