أصبح التلفزيون والأفلام والقصص المصورة ومنصات التواصل الاجتماعي مثل الفيسبوك و الانستغرام و التيك توك أدوات مهمة في مكافحة الصور النمطية والأحكام المسبقة ، في وقت أصبح فيه عرض المحتوى ومشاركته أسهل بكثير. في الوقت نفسه ، كانت وسائل الاتصال المعزز سلاحا ذا حدين. في حين ساعدت وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي ، على وجه الخصوص ، النساء العربيات والمسلمات على أن يصبحن أكثر وضوحا وتواصلا مع بعضهن البعض والعالم ، كما عرّضتهن أيضًا للقوالب النمطية والانتهاكات المباشرة. في الواقع ، يمكن لأدوات وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي أيضا أن تعزز القوالب النمطية وتزيد بصمتها في أنظمتنا المتحيزة..

The increasing reliance on storing, processing and exchanging data on electronic devices, whether it is data for individuals or institutions, leads to its exposure to the risk of change, destruction, theft or exploitation by others. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the existence of protection tools for that information. Moreover, the more important the information is, the more protection tools are needed to protect it. The tendency to provide electronic services and digital transformation necessarily leads to the importance of identifying information, its types, how to protect it, the risks it may be exposed to, and the legislation criminalizing its infringement.

The aim of this workshop, organised by the General Women's Union (GWU), is to spread awareness among the members of the community about the risks that information may be exposed to. As well as warning them about electronic systems. No electronic system is fully protected, but the minimum level of protection should be taken to ensure the preservation of information. People should also be aware of the danger of storing or transferring information without taking protection measures, whether they are private or related to work, as this may pose a danger to personal or work life. Likewise, exposure to the attack on information requires knowledge of the procedures to be followed to reduce the damage that results from the attack, and to enable the control and investigation authorities to reach the criminals. 

One should know not to be influenced or effected by any threats, or any form of blackmail, that may be made by criminals after stealing information. Emphasis is placed on real-life examples such as theft of credit card data or personal photos.

General Women's Union: Know Your Rights Programme

Under the title “New Perspectives”, the Women’s World Majlis programme invites you to recognise a fundamental principle: when women thrive, humanity thrives.

The programme highlights the impact women have made on society and shines a light on their often forgotten contributions. By shifting perspectives, we embrace the infinite approaches to a more balanced world.

A common vision for a unique collaboration; sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Sharing this vision, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cartier celebrate women changemakers around the globe, asserting our conviction that innovative collaboration between the private sector, civil society and committed individuals is the pathway to meaningful change.

Offering everything from online tax filing to internet elections to quick business registration via your mobile device, Estonia is one of the world’s first e-governments, a true digital-first society. With a luminous design that draws inspiration from the circuitry that powers it, the Estonia Pavilion shares the Baltic nation’s digital innovations with Expo 2020.

Inside, visitors can tour a futuristic model e-classroom and walk beneath illuminated data “clouds” based on the country’s X-Road online infrastructure – but it’s not all digital here. You can also taste Nordic-inspired Estonian cuisine at the on-site restaurant.

There is great power in the connection made over a shared idea. 
Conversations can mend bridges between warring factions or build 
empathy between different cultures. They can spark a great idea and build the coalition for change to make it happen. This idea is at the core of Expo 2020 and the World Majlis – connecting minds and creating the future. How can the power of conversation be better harnessed to build new collaborations for a better future? How do you set up the conditions for constructive, open dialogue? And do our digital tools offer new ways to have these conversations? This special World Majlis brings together diverse thought leaders and visionaries to open the Golden Jubilee month by turning the conversation back on itself.

Expo 2020 Dubai Opening Ceremony

Long ago, travellers referred to Dubai as Al Wasl, or “the connection” – a name that reflects the area’s heritage as a meeting point. This spirit of coming together takes shape in Al Wasl Plaza, Expo 2020’s spectacular centrepiece and gathering ground for celebration and wonder. 

Situated at the meeting point of Expo’s three thematic districts, Al Wasl Plaza's dome is tall enough to fit the Leaning Tower of Pisa beneath it. By night, she transforms into a 360-degree projection screen, blanketed by more than 250 state-of-the-art projectors. Al Wasl Plaza is a hub for visitors and the vibrant heart of our Expo.
