Evening the Odds in Digital Education for Marginalized Women and Girls
7 March 2023, 4:30-6:00p.m. Eastern Standard Time/10:30p.m.-12:00a.m. Central European Time, Church Center for the United Nations, 8th floor
The Canadian Federation of University Women is hosting the “Evening the Odds in Digital Education for Marginalized Women and Girls” in-person parallel event on 7 March 2023, 4:30-6:00p.m. ET CCUN, 8th floor. The pandemic has triggered an unprecedented move to online education and learning. Access to learning tools, computers, and the internet is critical to the changes in the world, especially for rural, marginalized, and indigenous women and girls, who frequently lack resources. The “Digital Divide” exacerbates the online risks they face and limits their economic/social opportunities. Marginalized women and girls are often targeted by cybercriminals as they are perceived to be vulnerable/less tech-savvy. This multifaceted session will consider technology’s role in delivering online education – from experiences in Australia, Rwanda, Gambia, and Canada. A CSW67 parallel event on WHOVA.
CAMEUS will be hosting an on-site parallel event, “Signing of a Collaboration Agreement and some actions to be undertaken and goals to be achieved in the following years will be presented, adhering to the mission of the GWI, the CFUW, the FEMU, and the WG-USA, as well as the 17 Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development approved by all UN Member States”. The event will be held at the Mexican Mission in New York at 11:30am. An informational flyer from CAMEUS about this virtual event is coming soon.
