Girls on Fire I

Join Ecumenical Women at the UN for our first parallel event.

A uniting principle that brings member churches of Ecumenical Women together is not stuck on any one issue or area of concern, instead the network seeks transformational and systemic change for all women, regardless of their faith. This work starts at home in churches and communities.

A distinguished panel of inter-generational and inter-cultural faith leaders will address and unpack the CSW priority theme: Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. Speakers will explore the themes of accessibility, education in the digital age, and the human rights, safety and security of women and girls.

This panel will showcase why it is important to harness the potential of technology and innovation to improve women’s and girls’ lives and the digital divide, including the gender digital divide, as well as address the risks and challenges emerging from the use of technologies including sexual harassment and exploitation.

The panel will give examples of faith community’s work on education and share tools and practical ways of countering sexual and gender-based violence against women and girls in the digital age.
