The United Nation's theme for International Women's Day is DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality. This "celebrates the women and girls who are championing the advancement of transformative technology and digital education. IWD 2023 will explore the impact of the digital gender gap on widening economic and social inequalities. The event will also spotlight the importance of protecting the rights of women and girls in digital spaces and addressing online and ICT-facilitated gender-based violence." See this UN news story. There is an event livestreaming today 8 March 2023, at 10.00–11.30 USA EST (which is, e.g., 15.00-16.30 UK time) - go to https://media.un.org/en/webtv/schedule/2023-03-08 and you should see the schedule in your time zone.
I'm celebrating friends' and colleagues' digital expertise and also their research into digital practice and exclusion e.g. Dr Sharon Wagg.
Below is the UN's short video explaining its theme and goals.
