If you want to join the ongoing debate of a digital gender divide, this is the right place to bring in your perspectives and ideas. This platform will attempt to increase awareness, raise concerns and make our commitments to give a gender perspective to policies and design of development tools. It will circulate information on resources, practices and events on how women globally are being empowered by ICT.

This platform is initiated by Digital Opportunity Channel in partnership with i4d, an ICT initiative of the Centre for Spatial Database Management & Solutions based in India.

The discussions are being moderated by Anuradha Dhar, Research Associate, i4d.

What do we want to achieve?

We aim to:

- Help stakeholders in the fields of gender and ICT issues exchange ideas and debate issues about the gender issues and implications of ICT applications in development and the opportunities that they offer.
- Provide them with a platform to take their voices to policymakers in order to influence national, regional and global strategies.

The outputs of this discussion will be presented to concerned authorities and at various events where agendas are being discussed in the context of gender and ICT, so that these can influence national, regional and global strategies.
