Building peace in the minds of women and men
About us
UNESCO - the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was founded on 16 November 1945. For this specialized United Nations agency, it is not enough to build classrooms in devastated countries or to publish scientific breakthroughs. Education, Social and Natural Science, Culture and Communication are the means to a far more ambitious goal : to build peace in the minds of women and men.

Girls and women have less access to digital devices and the Internet compared to boys and men, especially in lower-income and rural areas. For instance, 81% of men and 75% of women owned a mobile phone device in 2023. This disparity affects girls' ability to benefit from digital educational resources and online learning platforms. We must empower young girls by giving them full access to technologies and digital skills 👉 https://lnkd.in/dc28Xvwe #GirlsInICT GEM Report UNESCO
