End Violence Against Women

Violence Against Women and ICTs

Erika — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 13:48:25 +0100

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.
