PRESS RELEASE
World first historic milestone for AI, global gender equity, and inclusion.
African Nurses and Midwives at home and in the diaspora have come together to launch a pet project christined “Leave No Woman Behind”, a Global AI Literacy and Gender Gap in Tech Campaign.
A Statement by the Founder and Executive Director of Global Institute of Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals (GiNMAHP), Professor Khadijat Toyin Musah and Co-Convener of the campaign, Josiah-Jackson Okesola (JayJay) indicated that the first worldwide AI empowerment movement for migrant women and girls is dedicated towards equipping one million women, nurses, and girls with the skills, confidence, and leadership to thrive in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
According to the Statement, this landmark initiative is expected to be unveiled on International Migrants Day (December 18 2025) through a global virtual AI summit and tech bootcamp.
The initiative connects women from nursing, healthcare, education, business, and public-policy sectors with male and female leaders from AI and tech industries across five continents.
It noted that the initiative is to rewrite the narrative of geographical migration transforming it from a story of departure to one of digital empowerment.
The global event will see migrant women from diaspora uniting digitally with counterparts in Africa, to drive a borderless and visa-less future for women and girls.
The Conveyners rolled out the global statistics on the identified challenges to include 44 % of core job skills will be disrupted by AI before 2027 (WEF 2023), only 22 % of AI professionals worldwide are women (UNESCO 2021), in Sub-Saharan Africa, women hold just 20–30 % of tech roles (Ecofin 2024).
The statement listed other challenges as no fewer than 12 % of tech leaders and 10 % of startup CEOs on the continent are female, in healthcare, the world’s largest female-dominated profession as 90% of nurses and midwives are women, yet fewer than 3 % occupy digital leadership roles (WHO 2024).
The statement maintained that these numbers are not just statistics but barriers waiting to be broken as AI must not become another tool of exclusion. It must be the new language of inclusion.
It pointed out that for the first time, nurses and midwives the world’s largest female workforce are joining forces with women from non-tech sectors and male allies in AI and innovation to design solutions that leave no one behind.
The Conveyners assured that through joint hands-on training, apprenticeships, and cross-continental collaboration, participants will co-create AI-powered projects that improve healthcare, education, entrepreneurship, and community development without crossing borders or needing visas.
Meanwhile, the Global Launch will feature goodwill messages from world leaders, and diaspora experts, keynote addresses from AI and gender-equality champions, quick-fire panel sessions linking policy and practice, global storytelling series from migrant and diaspora innovators.
The campaign therefore invites partnerships from governments, Colleges Universities, NGOs, Corporate Organizations, and Innovation Hubs committed to advancing gender equity and ethical AI adoption.
This invitation aligns directly with the WHO Global Strategy on Digital Health (2020–2025) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 17) transforming policy visions into grassroots impact.
