No #DigitalJustice without #FiscalJustice.

We can't close digital divides with underfunded systems. It's time to invest in gender-responsive, accountable public financing that centers people, not profit.

Proud to support this call to action.
It’s time for:
🔹 A digital development tax
🔹 Global tax transparency
🔹 An end to regressive user taxes
🔹 Fair digital trade rules
🔹 A UN Tax Convention
🔹 Action on Big Tech tax evasion
