Technology for Good - Women in Tech Podcast Trailer #1 – Jamie Zimmerman
Transcript:
“I am bursting with feeling about urgency and opportunity, to ensure that tech can accelerate gender equality. When women and girls have an equal chance to thrive and lead everyone benefits”
That was Jamie Zimmerman from the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation talking to us in our Technology for Good podcast series. For the next 5 episodes, the ITU Technology for Good podcast series, is focusing on technological challenges and opportunities through the eyes of some incredible and inspirational women in tech, in the run up to the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference, or PP-22. This major event will gather policy-makers from ITU’s 193 member states to take decisions that will shape the future of technology, making it greener, more gender and youth inclusive and more accessible to everyone on our planet.
“More people, especially women who have haven't historically had a seat at the table, need to have one. And if we can't make the table bigger and bring in more chairs, then I think we need to start intentionally seeding some space for them in order to just show up and be part of the conversations and helping with design and and decision making”
