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.

The Architecture Is Being Built Right Now.
Here is Where to Find the Doors

Upcoming events & talks
Women at the Table at Geneva AI Week 2026
This summer, Geneva hosts the inaugural Global Dialogue on AI Governance, the WSIS+20 High-Level Event, and AI for Good — all in the same week. The frameworks, standards, and institutions that will shape digital transformation for the next decade are being renegotiated right now. Women at the Table is convening six events across the Human Rights Council, WSIS+20, and AI for Good to ensure gender equality and human rights are embedded in that architecture — not added as an afterthought.
 Jun 183:00 pm - 4:00 pm Human Rights Council Side Event | HumRights-Bench: Can AI Understand Human Rights Law?Organized by AI & Equality by Women at the Table and Globethics, HumRights-Bench is the first scientific tool to measure whether AI models understand and apply human rights law. As large language models increasingly shape decisions affecting rights holders worldwide, Member States urgently need rigorous evaluation tools. Our results reveal consistent model failures — giving governments the concrete data needed to regulate AI responsibly. |
 Jun 232:00 pm - 3:00 pm Human Rights Council Side Event | From Rights to Architecture: Women, Girls, and the Governance of Artificial IntelligenceThis event convenes human rights and technical expertise to ask what regulatory architecture, accountability mechanisms, and feminist design practice are needed to close the implementation gap — before the UN Working Group’s landmark report on AI and gender equality goes to the Council. |
 Jul 069:00 am - 9:45 am WSIS Forum 2026 | Public Trust and AI Procurement: From Principles to PracticeDrawing on new research, this session introduces a public trust framework for AI procurement and maps concrete mechanisms — auditability, documentation, risk assessment — to embed human rights and transparency upstream, before systems are deployed. |

Jul 062:00 pm - 2:45 pm WSIS Forum 2026 | Measuring What Matters: Embedding Gender Equality in AI Governance Through Gender-Specific IndicatorsThis session surfaces what current indicators miss and maps concrete governance entry points to embed gender-specific, actionable indicators — before standards are locked in. |

Jul 0710:00 am - 10:45 am WSIS Forum 2026 | Fit for Whom? Sex-Stratified Data and the Integrity of High-Risk AIDrawing on three recent research papers, this session presents evidence of the cascade from male-default data to biased outputs across healthcare, criminal justice, and social care, then maps what needs to change in data standards, validation requirements, and governance frameworks. |
