The internet opens huge opportunities for girls to get equal, take action & lead change. But the spread of false information online is holding them back. Girls need the freedom & power to lead. Raise girls’ voices: sign their petition now #FreeToBeOnline

Deeply disappointed that @Keir_Starmer’s speech offered nothing more than a dose of ‘tough’ criminal justice to address male violence against women. Longer sentences wouldn’t have protected Sarah, Sabina, Bibaa or Nicole.
We must prevent violence against women, not manage it.

The gender digital divide is a reflexion of the overall discrimination faced by women and girls. If we do not close the gap, there is a significant risk that technology will actually widen gender inequalities.
We cannot let that happen.

"Girls’ and women’s need for technology that works for them goes beyond menstruation and motherhood. Femtech, as defined above, is at its best nice. Real feminist technology needs to be so much more."
Happy #GirlsinICTDay! Read mine and @NoraLindstroem blog below!
Girls all over the world face discrimination and threats to their freedom every day. They have the right to be safe online and make their voices heard. We must support them 👊 #GirlsInICT #GenerationEquality

We MUST increase the amount of #GirlsinTech. Why? Because we need technology that advances equality and combats discrimination. We need #EqualityTech. #GenerationEquality #GirlsinICT

Technology and the internet can be a great enabler for girls but a lack of opportunities, skills and a fear of discrimination prevent many from using and creating digital tools and online content #GirlsInTech #GirlsInSTEM

Girls cannot enjoy their full rights if racism is not eradicated. It's as simple as that.
We must be active anti-racist allies and stand up against racist violence and injustice.
