The EQUALS Global Partnership is now seeking nominations for the 2022 EQUALS in Tech Awards. We want to hear about initiatives, projects, movements, organizations and institutions around the world working to bridge the gender digital divide.
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. Winners join a strong community of support and expand their networks.
EQUALS is seeking nominations for initiatives both large and small, from around the world, in the following award categories:
Access: Initiatives related to improving women and girl’s digital technology access, connectivity and security
Skills: Initiatives that support the development of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills of women and girls
Leadership in Tech: Initiatives focused on promoting women in decision-making roles within the ICT field
Leadership in SME: Initiatives promoted by tech sector companies to bridge the digital gender divide
Research: Initiatives prioritizing research on gender digital divides and producing reliable evidence to tackle diversity issues within STEM and computing fields
