About the Conference
The 3rd International Conference on Sustainable Development Goals (ICSDG 2026) focuses on Bridging the Gender Gap in the Digital Economy through Partnerships. While SDG 5 aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women, girls and transgender people, the digital economy continues to reflect a persistent gender divide. Millions of women worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries, lack access to digital infrastructure, STEM education, safe online spaces, and equitable opportunities in digital entrepreneurship. This conference will serve as a forum for interdisciplinary dialogue, policy recommendations, and global cooperation to promote gender-inclusive digital economies.
