"Impacts of Consumerism on Women’s Health in the AI Era" United Nations NGO CSW70 Parallel Event
*Zoom Registration Required
This virtual session is part of the UN NGO CSW70 Parallel Event.
We will explore how modern consumerism, driven by advanced marketing strategies and accelerating technologies such as artificial intelligence, is shaping women’s health and the wellbeing of our planet globally.
Today’s marketplace is not neutral nor health-friendly. It is designed to influence behavior, accelerate consumption, and normalize patterns that impact both physical and mental health. As AI amplifies speed, personalization, and reach, the volume of consumption and waste is increasing at an unprecedented scale.
This conversation invites critical reflection on the science of marketing, the systems driving overconsumption, and the urgent need for awareness.
Awareness-in-Action, as Sandra Hanns defines it, is essential. Beyond conversation, it is about recognizing patterns, understanding influence, and implementing a conscious shift in how we engage as consumers and leaders building the future.
Join us for a meaningful dialogue on awareness, responsibility, and the future direction of global consumption in an increasingly accelerated world—where awareness leads to action.
