Project Description
Digit@lly Together for Gender Equality project aims to empower 336 youth aged 18-25 from 7 countries to become skilful digital advocates and change makers for equal and inclusive societies.
DiGE addresses the intersection of gender and technology in the youth sector – two areas that have contributed significantly to major societal gaps and will most probably have further implications for the widening of the disparity among men and women across the world
