Making Gender Equality a Reality by 2030 - SDG Media Zone at Web Summit 2019

To achieve global gender parity by 2030, businesses will need to set clear actionable targets for their organizations that go beyond the status quo. At the same time, closing the gender data gap will require education and revolutionary digital access to women and girls all over the world. Tapping into this intersection between business, tech and education for women and girls will be crucial for gender equality to become a reality.
