dc.description.abstractThe United Nations’Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) place greatemphasis on inequalities and pledge toleave no-one behind. For thefield of digital development, this objective presents a particularchallenge. While digital technologies can be utilized to reduce certaininequalities, they are also linked to reproductive mechanisms,reinforcing existing inequalities. In the context of an increasingdigitalization of development, particular attention must therefore bepaid to the link between digital inequalities and the quest to leave no-one behind. This article analyses the integration of intersectionalinequalities in the SDG framework and the resulting need for coherentpolicies, and demonstrates the parallels between this challenge and thereproductive nature of digital inequalities. On this basis, we argue thatthe issue of digital inequalities should be mainstreamed indevelopment programming in order to avoid worsening existinginequalities through digital development.en_US
