"I never knew technology could be so useful to transform ones life until after the 5 day workshop on 'Digital Story Telling'. Seriously there was more to this than just telling a story." - Participant WENT 2007

Women came with their stories from Zimbabwe, Congo, Mali, Gambia, Kenya, Uganda, Brazil, and South Africa.

APC Africa Women in partnership with Women'sNet hosted this year's Women's Electronic Networking Training for women who document - as content developers, librarians, archivists, journalists, mediators, translators, information activists - the lives of women affected by violence in Africa.

Women developed short videos reflecting their experiences as women documenters. The group examined the power dimensions of story telling and how to retain authenticity of voice - one's own and those of the people whose stories are being documented, preserved or disseminated.
