Case Study: UN Women brings diverse voices to the UN gender equality conversation with Howspace

UN Women gives diverse voices a seat at the table through an AI-powered online platform

UN Women, the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality, faced the challenge of creating a safe and inclusive virtual space for a global conversation on gender equality, especially crucial as the COVID-19 pandemic threatened to reverse decades of progress. They sought to move beyond social media to a dedicated platform that could facilitate these important discussions.

Using the Howspace platform, UN Women created the Generation Equality Forum Public Conversation. The AI-powered solution provided an open, democratic, and curated space for multi-lingual, real-time dialogue, allowing the public to engage directly in the UN process. Howspace enabled UN Women to seamlessly shift the event online, safely involve a diverse global audience in sensitive conversations, and use built-in AI clustering to objectively analyze the input in real-time, demonstrating that the entire society leads the agenda for equality.
