Imagine a world where a smartphone becomes your magic wand, unlocking new opportunities for women everywhere. This week in Beijing, Peng Liyuan, wife of President Xi Jinping and UNESCO special envoy for girls' and women's education, joined UN Women chief Sima Bahous at a vibrant exhibition on digital empowerment for women. 🚀💻
The event, a side show of the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women, showcased how the Chinese mainland is leveraging AI, big data and smart apps to help women digitalize their skills, access new markets and push boundaries in fields like tech, education and entrepreneurship.
From interactive VR booths where visitors can explore coding in a virtual lab, to success stories of female-led startups harnessing e-commerce, the exhibition painted a clear picture: digital tools can be a game-changer for gender equality. 👩💻🎓
Peng Liyuan and Sima Bahous toured each display, stopping to chat with young innovators and try out the latest gadgets designed to support girls' learning in remote areas. Their visit shone a spotlight on the progress made—and the potential still waiting to be unlocked.
As the Global Leaders' Meeting continues, this showcase offers a powerful reminder: when women gain digital skills and access, entire communities thrive. Here's to more innovations that empower women and girls around the world! 🌎✨
