Let's Do Something Big Together!
On November 29, we are celebrating Giving Tuesday: a day that encourages people to do good! The movement started in 2012 and has grown to a global level ever since. The goal of Giving Tuesday is to encourage people to donate to charities, and for employers to match their employees’ donations.
Our mission at Women In Identity is to drive the digital identity industry to build solutions with diverse teams to promote universal access which enables civic, social and economic empowerment around the world. In doing so, we aspire to support innovation and the growth of our sector by ensuring that Identity solutions are: built for everyone, by everyone #ForAllByAll.
Our WiD Ambassador Dia Banerji explains why identity matters to her:
Why WiD?
As the world transitions to a digital economy, digital identity becomes of utmost importance. It is the gateway for everyone to access products & services, and it forms the very backbone of social & financial inclusion. At Women in Identity, we want to make sure that every individual is represented in digital identity solutions. We do this by influencing the identity industry and creating awareness of the importance of diversity. One such exciting initiative is our Code of Conduct project which is aimed at enhancing diversity in the workplace. We have interviewed people in the UK and Ghana to talk about #IdentityExclusion
