High-Level Debate in NYC April 26
What can technology do to empower those with special needs? ITU’s Girls in ICT Day event will feature disabled girl Joanne O’Riordan, who is travelling from Ireland to take part in a UN-led high-level panel on technology and girls. One of only 7 people in the world with Total Amelia, Joanne will be celebrating her 16th birthday in NY just ahead of joining some of the world’s leading women to talk about the power of technology. A dream come true for a truly inspirational young woman.
