"37% of women in the world do not use the internet. 259 million fewer women have access to the Internet than men, even though they account for nearly half the world's population," Vladanka Andreeva, UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan, said in a message on International Women's Day, SİA informs.
"The theme of International Women's Day this year is "DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality." Our lives depend on strong technological integration: attending a course, calling loved ones, making a bank transaction, or booking a medical appointment. Everything currently goes through a digital process. However, 37% of women in the world do not use the internet. 259 million fewer women have access to the Internet than men, even though they account for nearly half the world's population.
"If women are unable to access the Internet and do not feel safe online, they are unable to develop the necessary digital skills to engage in digital spaces, which diminishes their opportunities to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related fields. By 2050, 75% of jobs will be related to STEM areas. Yet today, women hold just 22% of positions in artificial intelligence, to name just one," the UN Resident Coordinator said.
