Check out Social Source Commons
If you'd like to find tools that fit your needs, especially from the perspective of a gender and ICT practitioner looking to apply technology strategically in your organisation, Social Source Commons is a good place to check out what other non profit ICT practitioners are using. Social Source Commons "is a place to share lists of software tools that you already use, gain knowledge and support, and discover new tools. It’s a place to meet people with similar needs and interests and answer the question: what tools do they use?" And it just won a Net Squared Innovation Award!

Violence Against Women and ICTs
APC WNSP has seen an increased recognition of the connection between violence against women and ICTs. From the policy arena, to labour issues, to technology development, to access and use, to creation of content and the subsequent representation of gender relations etc., the dominant perspective and participation is still male. In short, there is a persistent presence of unequal gendered power relations, which also lies at the root of violence against women.
