AI as a driver of innovation and progress can only be fully realised with gender equality at its core. When the human rights of women and girls are at risk, all human rights are threatened.
With our partners we call for urgent action to be taken.

#16DaysOfActivism is over- but gender-based violence sadly goes on. We will continue to work with women’s rights organisations and survivors to pioneer, upscale, and integrate approaches to end GBV. Because everyone deserves to live in a world free from violence.
