GENDER INCLUSION IN TECHNOLOGY

The Inclusion Hub:
Digital Identities

This initiative hopes to consolidate research, information and relevant resources in the space of Gender Inclusion in Digital Identities. Resources consolidated to build the repositories hope to inform the ecosystem and its stakeholders about how digital systems could incorporate more gender inclusive design thinking.

About the Community of Practice: ID

The COP: ID initiative hopes to convene, learn and collaborate with key entities to unpack Digital IDs and understand how to strengthen gender inclusive practices when developing digital systems. This initiative hopes to inform ID systems through an action and evidence based approach by generating co-created, reflexive and robust research.

"In an effort to empower citizens that benefit the society they live in, governments provide vital goods and services to their citizens through a more efficient and effective manner – a digital route. To achieve this goal, enabling and empowering women is more than an aspiration, it is a necessity. Therefore, gender inclusion through digital identities is an integral starting point in the overall narrative to empower communities."
