A fair future
starts here
We don’t just analyze digital infrastructure and feminist AI—we build it. For a decade, Women at the Table has sparked systems change by redesigning the tables where decisions shape our world, not just adding seats.
Our mission: forge technology that strengthens democracy, advances gender equality, and protects human rights.

Upcoming events & talks
Women at the Table Fall Events ’26
This fall, the spaces where AI’s future is being negotiated are multiplying, from global policy fora to closed-door rooms in Geneva. The choices made there will decide whose safety counts, whose data creates value and whose vision of progress technology is built to serve.
Women at the Table is bringing gender and human rights into these conversations from the start, so that the people who know where systems fail are the ones helping to set the direction.
