Design Innovation for Gender Equality (DIG-Equality)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In recent years, designers have been moving into activities that are understood to be outside the typical commercial and artistic realms of design. During research into design and innovation we have come to uncover many projects that manifest how design is fundamental in dealing with changes in everyday life and situations. Some of this we promoted in a publication in Iceland addressing the future role and significance of design.
On reflection, we have discovered how designers and the creative industries can play an important part in influencing, tackling and improving social issues, and we have been inspired by design projects that are strategically tackling issues such as crime, sustainable everyday life, development aid and health.
Gender equality is a vast subject matter and a keystone in creating real prosperity within society. Our belief and vision is therefore that gender equality should be addressed on a strategic design level. We believe that both the fields of gender research and design make a combined force to influence positive results.
