Below the surface of work flexibility: Empowering the next generation with financial health

This CSW70 parallel event, co-organised by Soroptimist International South East Asia Pacific (SISEAP) and co-sponsored by The Steve Sinnott Foundation, examines access to education in the digital era and its implications for gender equality.

As digital transformation reshapes education systems and labour markets, the discussion will explore both opportunities and barriers facing women and girls, particularly those in marginalised and low-resource settings. The session will consider how digital exclusion, connectivity gaps, affordability, and limited digital literacy risk widening inequalities without gender-responsive policies. Speakers will share practical approaches to ensuring digital education is inclusive, accessible, and supports lifelong learning for women and girls.
