Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality in the G20 Context

Ever since 2008, G20 summits have been held annually and within G20 there are several working groups that include Women 20 (W20), launched during the Turkish Presidency in 2015. W20 is established with the aim to give further impetus to women economic empowerment. In the age of digital transformation, technology has become a crucial enabler for women's empowerment. The G20 Digital Economy Task Force (DETF) has emphasized the importance of closing the digital gender gap by promoting digital literacy and skills development for women. Although G20 efforts have made significant strides in addressing gender inequality, numerous challenges remain.
