The United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) is pleased to invite you to an online event on the launch of the report “Gender Approaches to Cybersecurity: Design, Defence and Response”.
Panelists will uncover gendered dynamics and assumptions that are prevalent in the field of cybersecurity, such as online-based harassment and violence; gender stereotyping in threat modelling; women’s participation in the cyber workforce; gender discrimination cybersecurity investigations.
The event will feature a presentation from the authors of the report, followed by expert comments from representatives of international organizations, Member States and civil society, as well as a Q&A with the audience.
