Harness digital technologies to expand opportunities for women, says Aya Institute
Aya Institute celebrates individual women and pro-gender organisations alike who keep working towards achieving a gender-responsive society through individual and corporate efforts
The Aya Institute on the observation of International Women’s Day, has acknowledged the challenges that women face in making strides towards their varied goals in life, amidst surviving the barriers and becoming inspirational to other women.
A statement released by Aya Institute on International Women’s Day reads, “Increasing access to digital technology for women has rippling impact on their businesses and the management of their homes and community through the access to information and data.”
“Some women are better able to balance the conflicting demands of work and family through the flexibility and enablement of digital platforms.”
According to the the institute, “Ghana has made significant gains especially in the training and recognition of women in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Innovation through the ‘Girls in ICT’ initiative spearheaded by the Ministry of Communication and Digitalisation.”
“This initiative is laudable as it recognises young girls excelling in this area and encourages other school girls to participate in this initiative thereby having a better representation ultimately.”
“Aya Institute on this day is asking government, international development partners, academic institutions, business support entities, CSOs and all stakeholders of national development to first, recognise the instrumental role digital technologies can play in breaking barriers.”
