What would the internet be like if it were designed by and for women? In this podcast, Uma Mishra of Women's March Global and Jensine Larson of WorldPulse.com talk about weaving feminist principles into the design of technology to create safe and empowering spaces for women online. With so much global decision making happening online, it's important that more women are connected and have a voice in shaping the future of technology and the future of the world. Uma and Jensine share their vision of a Digital Leadership Ladder that can supercharge the women’s movement.
