Every year, EQUALS invites nominations from committed and creative initiatives aiming to give women and girls equal access to the internet, the necessary digital skills, and career opportunities in the tech sector. The awards give recognition from a global, multisector group of partners who share a commitment to gender equality in the digital age.
