For a Gender-Transformative Digital New Deal
Movements discussed their common approach to framing a digital new deal, connecting it to the Declaration of Feminist Digital Justice launched on 6 March by IT for Change and DAWN and visualizing a future and common coalition work.
Panelists highlighted the need to adopt a gender-transformative digital New Deal that addresses issues such as algorithmic bias, discrimination, and inequality. They discussed the impact of colonialism, workers' rights, and democracy in shaping the digital landscape and emphasized the importance of breaking silos and organizing across issues to challenge power and create a movement for change.
The panelists also emphasized the need to focus on the bigger picture and the urgent need to address the socioeconomic and political structures that underpin digital inequality. They called for the adoption of anti-colonial, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, and feminist approaches to challenge and overturn the current world order.
The discussion concluded with a call for continued debate and action at the national and global levels to make feminist demands a reality. The panelists stressed the importance of public awareness and informed decision-making in promoting gender equality in digital spaces. They also discussed practical steps that can be taken, such as organizing local debates, signing the feminist digital justice manifesto, and convening future meetings to discuss concrete action items.
The session provided valuable insights into the complex and multifaceted issues surrounding gender equality in digital spaces and highlights the urgent need for a transformative and intersectional approach to digital justice.
