By Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Director, ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau, and Secretary-General-elect, ITU
Every day, ITU works together with a large community of partners from around the world with one common goal: to connect the unconnected and make sure that everyone, regardless of gender, has the chance to enjoy the benefits of being online.
ICTs have the power to build stronger communities and to give individuals the chance to work toward their dreams. That’s particularly true for marginalized groups like women and girls, who are often left behind in the digital revolution.
That’s why, today, on International Day of the Girl Child, I’m excited to be able to share two pieces of inspiring news: 
First, the theme for Girls in ICT Day 2023 is ‘Digital Skills for Life’, a vital component to helping us achieve universal and meaningful connectivity.
And the finalists of the 2022 EQUALS in Tech Awards!
Back in 2014, ITU and its partners began an annual tradition of recognizing outstanding work in gender digital equality around the world, and shining a light on initiatives, organizations and individuals working hard to make a difference. That initiative grew into our EQUALS in Tech Awards, which celebrate innovation and impact in bridging the digital gender divide.
From microfinance for women entrepreneurs in Latin America, to coding camps and employment fairs for girls in Burundi, to small tech business training for women in Tunisia, and research around the world that promotes evidence-based policymaking, EQUALS in Tech Award winners are transforming communities all around the world.
The 2022 Finalists
Our EQUALS in Tech Awards reflect the focus of our core EQUALS Coalitions in promoting equal internet access, digital skills, and opportunities for leadership in the tech industry.
This year, the EQUALS in Tech Awards committee received 160 nominations from 54 countries across seven regions.
The judges selected three finalists across five categories: Access, Skills, Leadership in SME, Leadership in tech, and Research. And this year, the partnership has also launched a new category – the EQUALS Special Recognition Partner Award – to celebrate an outstanding EQUALS partner whose activities and impact have been a model to gender advocates around the world.
The five winning initiatives and one outstanding EQUALS partner will be selected for their vision, significant impact, and regional importance.
These initiatives are building a brighter digital future for everyone, and I look forward to the wide support of our ITU members and partners.

The 2022 EQUALS in Tech Awards ceremony
In the past two years, the constraints imposed by the pandemic mean we’ve celebrated the annual EQUALS in Tech Awards online, meeting virtually to recognize and cheer-on the incredible work in gender digital equality.
This year, we’re excited to return to an in-person ceremony, as part of the December Partner2Connect (P2C) Annual Meeting at ITU Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
For me, the two events have a natural synergy: EQUALS is a multisectoral partnership addressing the many complex underlying causes of the gender digital divide, and the Partner2Connect Digital Coalition is a multistakeholder alliance to foster meaningful connectivity and digital transformation globally. Since universal meaningful connectivity will never be achieved without digital gender equality, bringing together P2C and EQUALS makes for the perfect double-act!
I’m looking forward to seeing a great many of you in Geneva in December, and to joining with all our partners in raising a loud cheer for this year’s winners. We’ll also be making this year’s EQUALS in Tech awards open to the public online, so mark your calendars and watch for more details at equalsintech.org.
WHAT: EQUALS in Tech Awards 2022
WHERE: ITU Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland, during the Partner2Connect Annual Meeting
WHEN: 8 December 2022
I can’t wait to find out which of our finalists will win an EQUALS in Tech Award on 8 December. But no matter who ends up taking the trophies, this year’s incredible finalists are an inspiration to us all in showing what we can achieve when we harness the power of innovation, collaboration and motivation to advancing gender equality in the digital world.
