by adminWomen’s Empowerment in Austria: Bridging the Digital & Social Divide
Why we need more inclusive digital education and safety programs for women
Although Austria has made significant progress in gender equality, digital and social barriers still prevent many women (especially migrants and marginalized groups) from fully participating in society.
Key Challenges:
- 43% of women in the EU report feeling unsafe online due to cyber harassment (Eurobarometer, 2023).
- Many migrant and refugee women in Austria lack access to digital education and employment opportunities.
- Gender-based violence, both online and offline, remains a pressing issue in Austria and across Europe.
How EduChange Network is Making a Difference:
Through mentorship programs, digital literacy workshops, and AI-powered safety tools, we are creating safe spaces for women to learn, connect, and advocate for their rights. Our HERizon initiative provides real-time support and educational resources to promote women’s empowerment.
Let’s work together to bridge the digital gender gap!
