“…7 Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women, also highlighted the foundational role of the digitalization project: "The information society is incomplete without the inclusion, contribution and leadership of women and girls … They must have access to ICTs, and we must foster their capabilities to use the technology. This is central to the realization of women's rights at all levels and can be a real driver of accelerated progress towards the achievement of Agenda 2030" [Gilleri 2020].…”

In most academic discourses, United Nations (UN) programs and initiatives to promote digitalization and womens rights are studied as distinct fields. Less attention has been paid to UN efforts to promote gender equality and protect womens rights by promoting digitalization. The article addresses some of the gaps in the contemporary research of the role of modern international intergovernmental organizations in womens rights protection amidst modern technological development. The study reveals the influence of digitalization on ameliorating the position of women in modern societies and formulates the assessment of the gender gap in using the ICT technologies, as well as analyzes how UN specialized divisions act to ensure digital gender equality. The author concludes that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approved by the UN in 2015 do not pay enough attention to the importance of digitalization for ensuring the rights of women.
