Greetings from IT for Change!


We are pleased to invite you to a *CSW69 Side Event*, sponsored by the 
Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations, New York and 
co-sponsored by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), IT for Change (ITfC), 
the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and Development 
Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN).


This discussion will build on key findings from FES, DAWN and ITfC’s 
policy report, /*Pathways to Gender Equality in the Platform Economy*/, 
which synthesizes insights from feminist scholar-practitioners, trade 
union representatives, and activists across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin 
America, and the EU, consolidated through online consultations in 
February 2025.

At the Beijing+30 conjuncture, the session will emphasize multi-scalar 
policy responses to counter the intensification of gendered precarity in 
the digital transition, focusing on techno-design reforms, social 
protection, and international labor standards to secure a feminist 
future of work.

*Why Attend?*

Despite its promises, platformization has failed to create inclusive and 
empowering flexi-work opportunities for women, instead reinforcing 
gender discrimination, pay gaps, and workplace insecurity. This session 
will explore:

✅ Key challenges women face in platform work environments

✅ Techno-design reforms to counter gender discrimination in platform work

✅ Innovative policy solutions for gender-inclusive social protection and 
platform cooperatives

✅ International standard-setting for gender justice in digital labor 
markets


Join us for this critical conversation on *shaping a feminist future of 
work in the digital economy.
