Empowering Voices Harnessing Tech Standards for Gender Equality

International tech standards have the potential to significantly drive gender equality by creating more inclusive and accessible technological environments. By incorporating gender perspectives at the initial stages of standard development, these guidelines can ensure that technologies do not perpetuate existing inequalities but instead empower women and other marginalized genders. Furthermore, tech standards can mandate the collection and analysis of gender-disaggregated data, enabling more informed decisions that promote gender equality across industries.
