Description

The awards recognise initiatives using technology to advance gender equality and reduce the digital divide. Categories cover safe and inclusive digital spaces, emerging technologies for inclusion, and digital skills and leadership pathways. Initiatives may operate globally, regionally or nationally. Frame the application around the initiative’s actual contribution to digital gender equality. Match the evidence to the selected category instead of presenting an unrelated technology project. Recognition and access to a network are the stated benefits; this listing does not promise a monetary award. Eligibility: Civil society organisations, NGOs, public bodies, international organisations, academic institutions, businesses and social enterprises. Funding: International recognition, visibility and a support network; no cash grant is specified. Application: Choose the category matching the initiative and describe digital inclusion outcomes. Submit through the form associated with EQUALS before 23:59 CET. Schedule: 7 November 2026, 23:59 CET
