What will civil society's role be at the #WSIS 20 Forum High-Level Event (WSIS Process) that kicked off today in Geneva? Speculation is running high that civil society organizations will not only have opportunities to express their views but also have a place at the table when outcomes are decided.   During the opening today, UN leaders expressed their hopes for the future of digital cooperation, largely centred on the potential for digital technologies to improve and increase economic cooperation. In contrast, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk underlined the urgent need to ensure that digital technologies help build a fairer world based on greater equality and inclusion.   WACC General Secretary Philip Lee, D.D. (h.c.) will continue to send updates from the Forum, especially of a highlight on Wednesday at 5pm CET (Geneva): the session "Gender Equality and Inclusion in Our Digital Future" that WACC is co-organizing with the Global Alliance on Media and Gender (GAMAG). We're also looking forward to the session "WSIS 20: Reclaiming a people-centred information society – priorities for the global South" being held by our partner Association for Progressive Communications (APC). ➡️ Learn more and register for "Gender Equality and Inclusion in Our Digital Future": https://lnkd.in/gyTBwnjZ #DigitalJustice #CommunicationRights #ACommonFuture #GenderEquality #WSIS20
