On 26th November at 11.30 a.m. the conference 'ComMujeres. Retos y oportunidades de la mujer en el entorno digital. Rompiendo brechas' (Challenges and opportunities for women in the digital environment. Breaking the gaps) will take place.
The Chair for the Digital Gender Gap and the Unitat d'Igualtat (Equality Unit) are collaborating on this conference with the project ‘ComMujeres. Comunicación Digital y Género’ (Digital communication and gender), which belongs to the Chair of Gender Studies of the Universidad de Valladolid (UVa).
These events are part of the activities organised by the Universitat de València (UV) on the occasion of #25N International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
These conferences will discuss the situation of women within the ICT sector and the future prospects. As well as technological and social entrepreneurship and how these elements can be of great help in giving women employment opportunities and, thus, reducing the risk of suffering gender violence.
