African Women and ICTS, investigating technology, gender and empowerment
Abstract
This document presents an investigating technology, gender and empowerment, African women and ICTS. In bringing more clarity to the way women exert their agency in relation to the use of ICTs, how gender issues hinder or enhance women’s access to and use of ICTs, how women have accomplished their dreams in relation to ICT use, what they needed in order to get there, what obstacles they faced, and how they managed to overcome their internal and external barriers, the authors contribute to a better understanding of the potentials of ICT use. Being the powerful tools that they are, ICTs deserve serious attention. Not to grant them this attention could result in missed opportunities for women, and risk ICTs reinforcing, unintentionally, women’s discrimination and disempowerment
