About us

The Hypatia project was created to address the digital gender gap, a critical issue often overlooked in public policies and traditional digital literacy programs. The project focuses on a frequently invisible and marginalized group: housemakers, women engaged in unpaid caregiving work due to family responsibilities. These women not only face institutional and social discrimination but are also particularly vulnerable to various forms of online violence, including cyberbullying, hate speech, body shaming, sextortion, and revenge porn.

European Consortium Published New Analysis and Policy Recommendations on the Digital Gender Gap

A European consortium released a new English-language analysis and policy recommendations that exposed how digital inequalities continued to shape women’s lives across Europe. Completed in late 2025, the publication examined who was left behind by digital transformation, where policy responses fell short, and why existing strategies repeatedly failed to address gendered risks online. The analysis was developed across Czechia, Spain, Italy, and Malta within a European project coordinated by Genderové informační centrum NORA, o.p.s. Researchers applied an intersectional framework to map digital access, skills, usage, employment, and innovation, revealing how unpaid care work, limited time for training, and exposure to online abuse systematically restricted women’s digital participation. Based on these findings, the consortium finalized targeted policy recommendations calling for concrete institutional action. “The data showed that digital exclusion was structural, not incidental,” the research team stated, pointing to the urgent need for investments in care infrastructure, gender-sensitive digital policies, and stronger responses to technology-facilitated gender-based violence. The publication marked a key step toward more inclusive digital policymaking in the EU and informed the project’s upcoming educational activities.
