Media and Information Literacy is everyone's responsibility.
In the age of AI and information overload, we all have a role in helping people think critically and navigate information.

78% of university students in Maldives are women. Only 2% study science and technology.
The gap isn't at the door. It's further in.
AI learns from the world where inequalities already exist. The result depends entirely on who is in the room.

There are now more women in universities across South Asia than ever before. So why aren't they building AI?
The answer isn't a lack of talent or ambition. The data tells a different story.
Across the region, women's access to higher education has expanded significantly.
Mona retweeted

Closing the gender gap in AI isn't just about fairness, it's about building technology that reflects the needs, experiences and perspectives of everyone.

Nearly half of all women leave the workforce within three years of starting their careers - often around marriage or motherhood.

Diversity in India goes beyond gender, it is shaped by class, caste, region, access, and lived experience. True innovation will emerge when we address the needs of all of India, not just its urban centers.

A major step toward a responsible and inclusive AI future.
