Abstract

covid pandemic health digital transformation poverty sustainable development goals Climate Change Business
This article aimed to investigate the current climate change effects as well as challenges related to digital transformation for women post-covid era. The study was qualitative in nature. Literature was sourced from online repositories. The findings revealed that among other things, COVID-19's effects in Africa included employment losses, greater job insecurity, rising poverty levels, an increase in unpaid caregiving, an increase in domestic violence instances, and cyber hazards.Regarding the digital transformation for women in Africa, it was established that digital illiteracy, a lack of representation of women, a lack of internet access, and a lack of access to mobile phones were some of the major issues affecting women. Women can serve as change agents in addressing the effects of climate change, according to research on climate change in Africa. In general, the article showed that women in Africa are falling behind when it comes to digital change. For improving the digital transformation for women, a number of potential solutions were put out. Among these are developing gender-sensitive legislation, expanding access to and utilization of technology, and preventing cyberbullying that targets women and girls.
