The document outlines benefits of technology for women, including more employment opportunities, economic empowerment through platforms to connect and advocate, and ease of advertising and trading. It recommends advocating for affirmative action, challenging gender stereotypes, encouraging girls in STEM from primary school, implementing best practices, and making technology compulsory in education to increase women in these fields.

Abstract: Despite the strides made recently for women in business, female tech professionals continue to be outpaced by their male counterparts. According to Silicon Valley Bank’s Innovation Economy Outlook survey, less than 50 percent of technology companies have women in the C-suite or serving on the board of directors. Only 19 percent of CIO positions for Fortune 250 companies are held by women.
In fact, the gender disparity among technology professionals seems to be increasing in spite of recent gains throughout the workplace. Fewer women are joining the tech workforce and the numbers of female students studying technology is in decline—today only 18 percent of computer science majors are women, compared to 37 percent in the mid-1980s. Add in a continued wage imbalance and a high turnover rate for female tech professionals mid-career and it is clear that there is work to be done. How can we encourage more women to join the technology field and insurance technology in particular? What can be done to break down the barriers to success as a female technology professional?

The presentation also discusses the gender digital divide and lack of gender disaggregated data, as well as the need to improve connectivity and equitable access to information.
Actions to support women in ICT
As a lobbyist at the European Parliament at the ITRE committee I contribute with draft proposals.
Abstract: In a few years there will be a shortage of 1 million employable ICT people in the EU-zone.
Therefore, it is not viable for Europe to not make an effort to increase the number of women in ICT
since they are 50 % of the work force. To achieve this aim, it is necessary for EU and its partners to
sponsor activities that increases women to pursue a career in ICT. Examples on these are sponsoring
business incubators and creating employment pools.

The Gender Digital Divide
This document discusses the gender digital divide where women have less opportunities than men to access and use digital technology. Some of the key barriers for women include cost, literacy, time, mobility, safety, and social norms. Poverty and gender interactions can result in as much as 80% of populations in developing countries being offline, mostly women. To address this issue, the document recommends changing approaches by technologists to understand women's specific needs and conditions rather than expecting women to change. Successful programs work with those in power, focus on economic relevance, use cost-effective designs, and create new social norms that promote women's safe technology use.

Overall, the call center industry presents both opportunities and complex issues around women's agency and working conditions.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
