Description
This session hosted by the UN Human Rights B-Tech Project will explore the intersection of gender, digital technologies and the role of business. Participants will discuss key considerations relevant to understanding the implications of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights for technology companies’ responsibility to respect (and States’ duty to protect) women’s and girls’ rights. The conversation will point out existing tools and resources for the tech industry on assessing and mitigating impacts on women and girls, as well as identify outstanding gaps or other barriers to fully incorporating gender issues within this field.
