Centring Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD) Women in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

The Global Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (GFoD) has submitted a powerful input to the Working Group on Discrimination Against Women and Girls, exposing how digitalization and AI are deepening the marginalization of CDWD women—particularly Dalit, Roma, Quilombola, Haratine, Osu, and other historically oppressed communities.

The document shows how limited digital access, biased algorithms, and systemic neglect compound existing caste-, gender-, and class-based inequalities, while also highlighting the resilience and leadership of CDWD women and the transformative potential of inclusive tech policies. It offers urgent recommendations to ensure digitalization becomes a tool for justice rather than a driver of further exclusion.

We invite you to read the full input and join the call for a digital future that truly centers the world's most marginalized women.
