A fair future
starts here
We don’t just analyze digital infrastructure and feminist AI—we build it. For a decade, Women at the Table has sparked systems change by redesigning the tables where decisions shape our world, not just adding seats.
Our mission: forge technology that strengthens democracy, advances gender equality, and protects human rights.

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 ML evaluation tool grounded in international rights law.
Digital Guardians
Training civic technologists to counter algorithmic harms.
