No Customer Reviews
Around the world information and communication technologies (ICTs) have changed the lives of individuals, organisations and indeed, entire nations. ICTs can have profound implications for women and men in terms of employment, education, health, environmental sustainability, and community development. Women want to have access to information and to engage in communication that will improve their livelihoods and help them to achieve their human rights, yet, due to gender inequality in the information society, they are often prevented from accessing and shaping ICTs. This book features five case studies illustrating ways in which women have been able to make the most of digital opportunities, examining: E-commerce in Bhutan Entrepreneurship by women workers in China Post-conflict communication using radio and ICTs in Sierra Leone Sustainable fisheries production in Ghana Information exchange related to HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean The book also provides an extensive annotated bibliography of the international literature on gender and ICTs for development, in particular rural development, and relevant web resources.
