Happy International Women’s Day!

It’s no coincidence that Team Egami is made up of so many strong independent, community-focused women. We work to empower women by building each other up to new heights. The theme this year is close to our heart – DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality. Here at Egami, WE celebrate International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day is an important occasion that celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women across the globe. The theme for Women’s Day 2023 is ‘DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality’, which highlights the crucial role of digital technology and innovation in achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment.

While digital technology has brought unprecedented opportunities for women to participate in economic, political and social activities, women still face significant barriers to accessing and using these technologies. The theme for Women’s Day 2023 recognizes the need to address these barriers and leverage digital technology to create a more inclusive world. The focus on innovation and technology underscores the potential for new solutions to address longstanding challenges and create opportunities for women to participate fully in all aspects of society. Women’s Day 2023 will provide a platform to explore innovative digital solutions that can support women’s empowerment and gender equality and recognize women’s important contributions to society.

One of the persistent challenges that women face is the gender pay gap, where women earn less than men for the same work. While progress has been made in some areas, there is still a long way to go to achieve pay equity. The theme for Women’s Day 2023 recognizes the potential of digital technology and innovation to address this challenge by creating new opportunities for women to access and participate in high-paying fields, and by enabling greater transparency and accountability in pay practices. Digital technologies can also help to support women entrepreneurs, increase their access to funding, and provide new markets for their goods and services.
