Abstract

Abstract
The rapid advancement of digital technologies has significantly
impacted various aspects of society, including human rights and gender
equality. This paper explores the intersection of international human rights
law and gender equality within the context of digital technologies. It
examines how digital platforms and tools can both advance and hinder
gender equality, highlighting the dual role of technology as a facilitator of
empowerment and a potential source of discrimination. Through a
comprehensive analysis of legal frameworks, case studies, and policy
initiatives, this study identifies key challenges and opportunities for
promoting gender equality in the digital age. The findings underscore the
necessity for robust international legal standards and proactive measures to
ensure that digital technologies contribute positively to the realization of
gender equality and the protection of human rights globally.

Keywords: Gender Equality, Digital Technologies, Human Rights,
Online Harassment, Digital Divide, Empowerment.
