To unleash its full potential, its gender dimensions must be taken into consideration. Failing to understand and address differentiated impacts of technology on women and men is likely to increase the gender digital divide. Explicit measures are essential for e-governance to be an effective and gender-responsive public policy instrument.¹⁶ Aruba's National Gender Policy (May 2022) aims to strengthen systems and capacities to overcome structural barriers that impede gender equality and transform gender relations at all levels, including by countering gender stereotyping.¹⁷ There is the need for Aruba to strengthen its gender-sensitive monitoring.¹⁸ The Action will address the differentiated impacts of technology on women and men to build capacities and partnerships and to dismantle gender stereotypes and other barriers so that women can benefit equally from the opportunities offered by digitalisation. The Action will also work to ensuring the equal participation and opportunity of all individuals with a reaffirmed commitment to non-discrimination across all institutions, laws, and policies, and strengthened efforts to combat the harmful norms and stereotypes that negatively affect marginalised groups.
