Panel 5: Increasing Inclusion in Data and Digital Rights Discussions (201601)
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Link to Session: https://sched.co/1SHfi
Digital regulations are often set by one or a group of countries without taking into full account the effects on women and non-dominant populations. As the scientific community proceeds, we need to consider how to more actively engage these communities to ensure that particular measures take their needs into consideration. This panel will discuss the issues that need to be integrated into digital regulations and their implementation from a gender perspective. How can we work across stakeholder groups to pay attention to the gender gap, and the participation of women in the design and implementation of digital regulations? The panelists will share concrete examples of how they are integrating groups in the design and development phase, and working with non-dominant communities when shaping digital regulations at all levels.
