Gender Report Technology on Her Terms 2024

The 2024 Gender Report examines the critical role of education in fostering gender equality in technological development. It highlights how technology can expand learning opportunities for girls, particularly in crisis contexts, but also underscores persistent global gender divides in access and digital skills. Biased cultural norms often leave girls at a disadvantage, and technology sometimes reinforces harmful stereotypes or facilitates cyberbullying. The report also addresses the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields, where they make up only 35% of graduates and hold just 25% of jobs. By ensuring equal participation of women in education and the technology workforce, the report advocates for a future where technological advancements serve everyone inclusively.
