@MarciIen Thank you @MarciIen for sharing your insights and energy at our @IDRC_CRDI panel. It's clear to see how your commitment is rooted in being the daughter of an educator. We will continue to advance Canadian efforts to ensure educational digital innovations are gender inclusive.

[Marci Ien @MarciIen]

Les Canadiens ont énormément contribué à mettre la technologie et l’innovation au service de l’égalité des genres et de l’éducation inclusive.

[Marci Ien @MarciIen]

I'm proud that Canada is a key player in the global effort to ensure equitable access to education for all, and equal access to technology for women and girls around the world.

[Alejandra Vargas García @Ale_V_G]

It's great to work at an organization where your job is to help elevate female researchers' voices in spaces like #UNCSW67. We shared best practices on using tech to improve girls' #education. We also had fun doing it! @IDRC_CRDI @nifaruqui
