Women at the Table

A fair future
starts here

As a pioneering think tank, we don’t just analyze digital infrastructure and feminist AI, we actively construct it. Our mission is to forge technology that elevates human dignity, gender equality, and eradicates bias.

Building Rights into Digital Infrastructure

AI and digital systems are becoming public infrastructure. We ensure they serve everyone, with toolkits, benchmarks, and networks that put human rights at the center of digital governance.

Governance Toolkits 

Rights-based guides for building and buying AI systems.

Human Rights AI Benchmark

The first evaluation tool grounded in international rights law.

Digital Guardians

Training civic technologists to counter algorithmic harms.

AI Sandbox 

Safe prototyping space for civil society organizations.

For a decade, Women at the Table has sparked systems change by redesigning the tables where decisions shape our world, not just adding seats.

Some of our current and recent projects include work with:

Building bridges across borders

Our global network connects scholars, technologists, and advocates from the Global South and beyond. Together, we’re reshaping AI to reflect the full spectrum of human experience and expertise.

Policy work that opens doors

We craft policies that close the gender digital divide and create pathways for inclusive technology. Our advocacy is grounded in research, driven by evidence, and designed for real change.

Workshops that build skills and confidence

The AI & Equality Toolbox workshops break down complex concepts and build up practical capabilities. We turn understanding into action, one conversation at a time.

Creating connections that count

Our platform brings together thinkers, makers, and changemakers who share a vision: technology that works for everyone. We’re building the infrastructure for collaboration.

Research that reaches decision-makers

Our work influences conversations in boardrooms, policy halls, and international forums. We bring evidence and lived experience to discussions about trade, technology, and democracy.

Join the work

The future of AI isn’t predetermined—it’s being written now. We’re building a community of people committed to ensuring that future includes everyone. Technology at its best doesn’t just solve problems; it creates possibilities.
