“The big problem is that we are wanting to look at online gender-based violence as unique, because it’s just online, but the reality of it is, fundamentally, this is about patriarchy, inequality & misogyny, that happens both offline & online.” - @AfroDiva https://t.co/kdMZ0xNqus
The Circle of Women Ambassadors to the @UN are committed to achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of technology and innovation.

No country is safe until the consensus on governance of emerging technologies is reached.

In this regards, establishment of international regulator & protocols, local legislation, effective implementation & collaborative mechanism is required to tackle the issue.
Changing nature of technology and the emergency of AI, superhuman, robotics, etc are escalating cyber security vulnerabilities globally.
In the absence of effective international regulator and protocols on cyber security, the global peace and security is at risk.
