Technology has emerged as a transformative force, offering innovative solutions to address these disparities. This paper explores how digital tools, platforms, and innovations are being harnessed to promote gender equity across the globe. By analysing advancements in digital education, healthcare, financial inclusion, and policymaking, this research highlights success stories and identifies challenges in the implementation of technology-driven initiatives. The paper concludes with recommendations to ensure that technological interventions are inclusive, accessible, and effective in creating a more equitable world.
