The nomination deadline for the 2021 EQUALS in Tech Awards has been extended! Send us your nominations until 30 September, 2021.


Every year, the EQUALS Global Partnership seeks committed and creative organizations and initiatives working to give women and girls equal access to the internet, digital skills, and career opportunities in the tech sector. The EQUALS in Tech Awards spotlight and reward the value of initiatives that help girls and women and their communities thrive through all the economic and social opportunities that digital access, skills and leadership can offer.

This year, the opening of nominations for the awards has a special additional significance. Our hosting agency and co-founding partner ITU is celebrating 10 years of its flagship gender program Girls in ICT Day. To mark the milestone, ITU and its partners have organized "10 Moments of Girls in ICT", and the EQUALS in Tech Award nominations form part of Moment 6: Inspiration, under the theme of Connected Girls, Building Brighter Futures. Find out more about this outstanding program.


This year and every year, the past winners of the EQUALS in Tech Awards join a truly inspiring and impactful community of changemakers working together to bridge the gender digital divide.
