Description:
In several of our countries, the convention on cybersecurity and data protection has not yet gained the expected momentum. Stakeholders are trying to mobilise with the aim of fostering the development of the digital sector, framed by regulations that take the consumer into account. Given the relevance of the exponential evolution of digital technology, there is a need to focus on a significant part of our society, namely the vulnerable. What provisions are being put in place for the development of digital women? Is there a gender charter for this development? Which actors can help governments to ensure the proper protection of these people online?
It is around these concerns that the resource persons, through case studies, will edify the audience with a view to a good understanding of the development and protection of women online.
A normative framework that helps protect gender online
Popularisation of existing regulatory and legal texts
Capacity building of some stakeholders
Decision-makers take into account the concerns of vulnerable people
Hybrid Format: Thanks to the experiences gained since the Covid 19 period, we will draw on the best practices used at the time to make the hybrid meeting inclusive.
This will be characterised by the provision of a remote moderator who will manage the chat, the communication through the social network for a good participation, the organisation of the remote participants, individually or via the hub, finding possible solutions for people with disabilities on site or remotely.
