The reflections were about the following themes:
– From stereotypes to digital transformation in bridging gendre divide : shaping the future of Cameroon’s inclusive digital economy », by Professor Patricia ASONGWE, Head of the Comparative University Systems Unit;
– Women and ICT sectors/trade « , by Mrs. Arielle KITIO TSAMO, PhD student in ICT;
– Promotion and Protection of Women and Girls’ Rights », by Professor Joyce ENDELEY, Chairperson of the Sub-Commission on the Promotion at the Cameroon Human Rights Commission (CDHC). – From this rich and instructive exchange, it should be noted that information and communication technologies are based on universality and transversality. According to the moderator, there is no other world where gender equality is perfect outside the digital world. It is in this light that an appeal was made to all Amazons accompanied by men who came for the occasion to review the educational orientation of their offspring, to seize digital opportunities through training that ensure better employability of the female elite.
