Digital transformation is reshaping economies and societies, creating new opportunities, but also new risks for gender equality.

At the 2026 OECD Forum on Gender Equality, discussions will focus on how gender equality can be embedded into the development of digital policy to ensure the digital transformation benefits everyone.

Under the theme “Harnessing the Digital Transformation for All”, the Forum will bring together global leaders in their fields, practitioners and experts to explore how digital technologies and data can advance gender equality, while addressing structural barriers, exclusion and risks.

Sessions will explore:

• Driving women’s empowerment with AI-enabled services
• Digital technologies, data and the future of the care economy
• Skills to lead digital transformation: Who gets to learn and lead?
• Women’s entrepreneurship: An untapped source of digital innovation
• Tackling gender-based violence in the digital age against women public figures worldwide
• Enhancing children’s safety in the digital environment: A gender perspective
• Addressing restrictive norms that shape behaviour and participation in online spaces

Join the conversation on how to harness digital transformation to advance gender equality and ensure that no one is left behind.
