It aims at creating an unstoppable global movement where women and girls are equal participants in the technology revolution. Through gathering of data, sharing of knowledge, and direct action, the Partnership will focus on addressing Sustainable Development Goal 5b, "Enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology (ICTs), to promote the empowerment of women" through three areas of action: ACCESS Achieve equal access to digital technologies ; SKILLS Empower women and girls with skills to become ICT creators; LEADERS Promote women as ICT leaders and entrepreneurs. In the perspective of the promotion of The Global Partnership for Gender Equality in the Digital Age, ITU and UN Women launched in September 2016 the EQUALS campaign to promote together Gender Equality in the Digital Age. This campaign works closely to the achievement of Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Agenda, 'Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls'.
