In collaboration with the Department of Computer Science of the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU), the 1st Student Conference on “Gender Dimensions of Cybersecurity” was held. The conference was organized by UN Women and funded by the United Kingdom.
Women’s engagement in cybersecurity is increasingly recognized as a critical component of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, which aims to prevent and address the disproportionate impact of cyber threats on women and girls. Women are more likely than men to experience online violence, including online harassment, stalking and exploitation. Integrating cybersecurity into the WPS agenda allows for a more comprehensive approach to addressing gender-based violence both in real life and online.
The purpose of the multidisciplinary conference was to promote academic research, share knowledge and experience on gender aspects of cybersecurity and deepen cooperation among the participants (including representatives of academia, civil society and international organizations). It also aimed to raise the visibility of gender equality and inclusion issues in the field of cybersecurity in Georgia.
The conference included panel discussions and presentations with the participation of experts and field specialists. Scientific and research works of Georgian and foreign researchers, TSU students were presented.
