How does technology contribute to this SDG? See what we propose and tell us what you thinkLessoons Learnt
We have analyzed the literature and extracted the following ideas on how technologies are favouring this SDG.
See also what we propose and tell us what you think
L.1
The possesion of mobile devices with Internet access constitutes an genuine tool that empowers women giving them access to a world of knowledge, social and collective awareness, financial resources and independence.
L.2
Many technological proposals have clashed with patriarchal customs and traditions, which have been a brake or even have aggravated the situation of discrimination. It is not feasible to develop an app or implement a technology without the assistance of anthropologists, sociologists, and other social experts and without strong legal support.
L.3
In the first world there is still discrimination in terms of composition and functioning of boards of directors, as well as in personnel selection processes. AI can help prevent such discriminatory situations.
L.4
Technology can detect situations that may lead to a crime of abuse and harassment before the fact occurs, thus helping to prevent more adequately than the legislation itself.
