Equality Now is an international human rights organisation with the mission to achieve legal and systemic change that addresses violence and discrimination against all women and girls around the world. Our main areas of work are ending sexual violence, ending sexual exploitation, ending harmful practices, and achieving legal equality. To tackle emerging challenges for women and girls and discriminated-against groups in the digital realm, Equality Now with Women Leading in AI formed the Alliance for Universal Digital Rights (AUDRi). We are collaborating to create a digital future where everyone can enjoy equal rights to safety, freedom, and dignity. Through AUDRi, we leverage our international networks and experience in human rights research, action, and advocacy to convene knowledge, co-create solutions, and champion change. During our engagement with the GDC, together with other CSOs, as well as UNPFA and UN Women, we developed a set of Feminist Digital Principles for the inclusion of gender in the GDC that became a rallying point for our advocacy. AUDRi worked as a member of the coalition Gender in the GDC to advocate for the inclusion of gender considerations in the UN Global Digital Compact (GDC), which is part of the Pact of the Future. The GDC was adopted by UN member states in 2024 and includes some of the language we advocated for, although it did not go as far as we wanted. It includes a stand-alone principle on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, as well as commitments to address sexual and gender-based violence that occurs through or is amplified by the use of technology. However, we wanted to see gender considerations mainstreamed more across the framework. In this post-GDC period, AUDRi is building a movement to advocate for governments to implement the GDC and other international and regional digital governance and cooperation frameworks, ensuring grounding in and alignment with international human rights law and standards. We are looking to hire a Consultant to research and produce a Toolkit that CSOs and other stakeholders can use to monitor and report on national governments’ implementation of the GDC and other international and regional frameworks on digital governance and cooperation, and the Feminist Digital Principles, using an intersectional feminist lens.
