Gender Justice and Rights in the Digital Economy

Achieving gender equality, as outlined in United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5, remains essential to building inclusive and sustainable societies, yet the persistent gender digital divide continues to limit progress. Many women face barriers to digital access and participation due to structural inequalities, limited education opportunities, and online safety concerns. Addressing this gap requires integrated approaches that combine digital literacy, inclusive policies, and gender-responsive technology design, alongside strengthened collaboration emphasized in Sustainable Development Goal 17 to advance a more equitable digital future. Gender Justice and Rights in the Digital Economy develops policy frameworks for digital gender inclusion by promoting evidence-based, scalable interventions and strengthening interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration. Ultimately, this book sparks international cooperation, fosters collective action, and empowers individuals of all gender identities to succeed, thrive, and lead in the digital world. Covering topics such as venture capital, women-led entrepreneurship, and institutional pathways for equality, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, international policymakers, digital economy regulators, gender equality advocates, development agency practitioners, education policymakers, and more.
