Women in Tech Conference on May 12 and 13, 2022

Equal opportunities in the working world of the IT sector need a cultural change in companies.

Meet the WSIS Gender Trendsetters

As part of WSIS’ work on gender mainstreaming, WSIS Gender Trendsetters have been appointed to act as trailblazers and take action in strengthening gender equality. Each Trendsetter has chosen a specific challenge or pledge to advance gender mainstreaming efforts in the field of ICTs.

This session will provide an opportunity to meet the inaugural cohort of WSIS Trendsetters and to hear more about their respective commitments and activities for the forthcoming year.
