[wanabidii] Empowering Women Through ICT

The empowering use of ICTs is closely connected to socio-economic development, and this potential towards social transformation demands that everyone should have access. Prevailing inequalities in access to ICTs throughout the world suggest that many groups are hindered by their social and economic circumstances from developing a relationship with ICT. In relation to women, this inequality is referred to as "the gender digital divide". The concept of a gender digital divide is supported by empirical evidence that shows that women all over the world use ICT to a lesser extent than men (e.g. Huyer & Carr, 2002; Primo, 2003; Lie, 2006).
