Women at the Table

A fair future
starts here

As a pioneering think tank, we don’t just analyze digital infrastructure and feminist AI, we actively construct it. Our mission is to forge technology that elevates human dignity, gender equality, and eradicates bias.

As part of our civic infrastructure strategy, we launched the A+ Alliance and the AI & Equality Initiative to ensure digital public infrastructure is inclusive by design

Building Rights into Digital Infrastructure

AI and digital systems are becoming public infrastructure. We ensure they serve everyone, with toolkits, benchmarks, and networks that put human rights at the center of digital governance.

Governance Toolkits 

Rights-based guides for building and buying AI systems.

Human Rights AI Benchmark

The first evaluation tool grounded in international rights law.

Digital Guardians

Training civic technologists to counter algorithmic harms.

AI Sandbox 

Safe prototyping space for civil society organizations.

For a decade, Women at the Table has sparked systems change by redesigning the tables where decisions shape our world, not just adding seats.

Some of our current and recent projects include work with:
