Events & Activities

In recognition of International Women’s Day, Women in Internet Governance (WIG) is convening women leaders from different regions of the world for an important discussion on the future of technology.

Join us for our upcoming webinar:

Bridging the Gender Digital Divide: Advancing Women’s Leadership in AI and Emerging Technologies

Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies are transforming economies, governance, and digital societies. However, women remain underrepresented in many of these spaces, particularly in leadership and decision making roles.

This panel discussion will bring together speakers from Africa, Asia, and Latin America to share perspectives on closing the gender digital divide, strengthening digital skills, and creating pathways for women to lead in AI and emerging technologies.

📅 Date : Thursday, 19 March 2026
⏰ Time : 15:00 UTC

Let us continue the conversation beyond International Women’s Day and work together to build a more inclusive digital future.

WIG provides a platform for women to contribute to discussions on internet policies. Through dialogues, consultations, and working groups, we encourage participation in decision-making processes that shape the digital space.

Annual Conferences & Forums

Our conferences bring together women from different backgrounds to discuss challenges, opportunities, and strategies for increasing women’s involvement in internet governance.

Community Outreach

We engage with schools, universities, and local communities to raise awareness about the importance of digital literacy, online safety, and women’s participation in technology and policy discussions.

Representation in Global Internet Governance Spaces

We encourage women to take active roles in international internet governance meetings such as the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), ICANN, ISOC and other related spaces where key decisions about the internet are made. Through these activities, WIG works to ensure that women are not just part of the conversation but are leading and making an impact in internet governance.
