Digitally Together for Gender Equality
project aims to empower 336 young people aged 18-25 from 7 counties (Bulgeria, Uganda, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Cyprus and Spain)
to become skillful digital advocates and change makers for equal and inclusive
societies. It addresses the intersection of gender and technology in the youth
sector – two areas that have contributed significantly for major societal gaps
and will most probably have further implications for the widening the disparity
among men and women across the world.
