Women empowerment with digital tools, a prominent topic, was discussed at the APEC Women Connect Virtual Workshop 2022 on 22 July. We are honored to have speakers from UN Women, International Telecommunications Union, APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), B20 Indonesia Women in Business Action Council, BRICS Women's Business Alliance (WBA), International Association of Women, Indonesia Business Coalition for Women Empowerment, and others from the public and private sectors.
The event set a platform for us to exchange ideas, provide recommendations, and promote solutions to address the digital gender gap, particularly since COVID-19. In this workshop, the most popular three words shared by speakers are “education”, “sharing”, and “inclusive”, echoing the theme of APEC 2022 - “Open, Connect and Balance”.
