How can we build a safer, more inclusive cyberspace? This 20-minute session will explore the transformative impact of the Women in International Security and Cyberspace (WiC) Fellowship – a pioneering programme jointly supported by seven governments and facilitated by the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE). With over 110 women from 55 underrepresented, small, and developing states empowered to actively shape UN cyber negotiations, the Fellowship is shifting the dial toward meaningful gender inclusion in global cyber diplomacy. The session will conclude with a 5-minute Q&A and present lessons learned, data-driven insights, and practical tools for advancing diversity and capacity building in international cybersecurity governance.
