Technological advancements frequently hinder the progress of women in the business sphere. In our current landscape, the rapid evolution of technology—driven by digital transformation—has created significant barriers to women’s participation. This has given rise to new forms of discrimination that often go unacknowledged and unaddressed. The unfortunate reality is that this issue is sidelined in discussions about the economy and broader implications for employment. We must recognize and confront the unique challenges women face in this technological age, as their exclusion not only impacts them but also stifles innovation and growth in our economy. It is time to advocate for a more inclusive approach that empowers women in the tech world.In this vital context, it is essential to recognize the discrimination and emerging challenges that women will face, although these issues may not have been previously explored in sufficient detail. This work has been thoughtfully created to fill that gap, serving as a crucial reference about these matters. By shedding light on existing gaps in the research, this book promises to enrich future studies and provide invaluable insights for researchers who investigate and evaluate related works. One of the most pressing challenges ahead for women in the rapidly evolving digital landscape is understanding and navigating the economic opportunities available to them. As we enter this new era, women will undergo a transformative journey that demands adaptability and learning in the face of continuous innovation. This work aspires to contribute significantly to these conversations and empower women as they embrace the future.

This comprehensive book study comprises two volumes, and the topics covered in this second volume are a continuation of those presented in the first volume. The main reason for this is that numerous issues related to the situation of women in business and society await solutions, and they have become too numerous to be addressed in a single book. Our aim in this study is to explore how technological developments impact women and to contribute to the literature by elucidating the fundamental requirements for entrepreneurship, leadership, sustainability, and gender equality in the digital society. The most important feature of the study that distinguishes it from other works is that it presents the experiences of different countries in all aspects, employing an interdisciplinary approach by authors with diverse field experience. Our women and girls constitute the segment of society that needs the most support, and we all have responsibilities in this regard. As editors and authors, we are pleased and honored to address these issues and raise awareness through collaborative efforts. Those who read this work and contribute to disseminating the information it contains to society will also act with a sense of responsibility, supporting the security of our future. We want to thank all our stakeholders in advance for their prompt action on this matter. We hope that the book will serve as a helpful step toward further action.

This book delves into the complex intersection between artificial intelligence and human rights violations, shedding light on the far-reaching implications within the framework of discrimination and the pivotal role equality bodies play in combatting these issues. Through a collaborative effort between the Human Rights and Equality Institution of Türkiye (HREIT) and Hasan Kalyoncu University, the groundbreaking "International Symposium on the Effects of Artificial Intelligence in the Context of the Prohibition of Discrimination" took place on March 30, 2022, in Gaziantep. This book is the outcome of this symposium, bringing attention to the alarming issues of "bias and discrimination" prevalent in the application of artificial intelligence. With a commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 8.10 of safeguarding human rights in the digital realm and countering the adverse effects of artificial intelligence, this work is an essential contribution to the Human Rights Action Plan. Comprising an array of insightful chapters, this book offers an in-depth exploration of artificial intelligence technologies, encompassing a broad spectrum of topics ranging from data protection to algorithmic discrimination, the deployment of artificial intelligence in criminal proceedings to combating hate speech, and from predictive policing to meta-surveillance. It aims to serve as a call to action, urging societies and policymakers to acknowledge the potential threats posed by AI and recognize the need for robust legislative frameworks and ethical principles to ensure that international standards on human rights are upheld in the face of technological advancements.
