Once a system is launched—especially by international actors—it can become invisible\, even as its consequences grow. This final stage and webinar of The African AI & Equality Toolbox looks at what true accountability means: planning for ongoing monitoring\, shared governance\, and the possibility of “no.” The webinar will also explore what it means for systems to be responsive—not just to data—but to dignity. \nThe African AI & Equality Toolbox is a strategic initiative designed to empower African stakeholders—policymakers\, technologists\, civil society actors\, and communities—to shape Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that are contextually relevant\, inclusive\, and grounded in human rights. \nDeveloped by Women at the Table and the African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS)\, and adapted from the global AI & Equality Human Rights Toolbox Initiative in collaboration with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)\, this African iteration provides practical tools and methodologies to guide equitable AI development across the continent. \nThe Toolbox applies a Human Rights-based AI Lifecycle Framework\, integrating reflective questions and the Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) developed with the Alan Turing Institute. It emphasizes participatory\, multidisciplinary approaches and is rooted in feminist\, decolonial\, and Justice\, Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion (JEDI) principles and incorporates lessons from emerging digital rights challenges\, ensuring AI systems are designed with safety and dignity at their core. \n1PM GMT | 3PM SAST | 4PM EAT \nRegister here URL:https://aplusalliance.org/event/the-african-ai-equality-toolbox-webinar-6-deployment/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aplusalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/AI-EQ-Toolbox-black-w-gradient-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260311T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260311T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T201715 CREATED:20260303T134424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260303T134656Z UID:25155-1773246600-1773252000@aplusalliance.org SUMMARY:CSW70 | When Algorithms Discriminate: Gender Bias in Justice Systems DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, 11 March 2026 \n4:30 – 6:00 PM ET \nNGO CSW \n10th Floor\, Church Center of the United Nations \n777 United Nations Plaza\, New York \nAn In Depth Discussion: What happens when courts replace judges with computer algorithms? We are told these systems are “objective” and “fair”  but the evidence tells a different story. From bail decisions to sentencing\, algorithms are making life-changing choices about women based on biased data and male-centered assumptions. A woman seeking justice after assault may find her credibility automatically questioned. A mother may be flagged as “high risk” simply because of where she lives or her employment history. Meanwhile\, these same systems treat men’s violence as more predictable and less dangerous. \nThis is not science fiction\,  it is happening right now in courts worldwide. Join us to uncover how technology is creating new barriers to justice for women and girls\, and what policy solutions can effectively address it. \nLaura Nyirinkindi | UN Special Procedures Member\, Working Group on discrimination against women and girls\nAfrica Regional Vice President of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (Federación Internacional de Abogadas) \nFernanda K.
