There are several challenges that are currently plaguing the issues of women’s rights in the world. ICT is a major element in personal growth and development of both men and women. It is however observed that the involvement of women in ICT sector is highly inadequate, particularly in the developing nations and there is a ‘gender divide’ resulting in lower numbers of women accessing and using ICT compared with men. At the same time, particularly for women, it could be a highly effective tool in improving their knowledge, staying informed and earning a living as well as reducing their sense of isolation, helping acquire new skills, actively participating in national and global dialogues, learning about taboo subjects (such as reproductive health and HIV) and making them feel safer and more in touch with family and friends, and also strengthening their self-esteem. ICT would also helps them improve ability to express themselves, speak in public and engage with adults and other decision makers to negotiate their needs and rights. Eradicating the gap and educating women through ICT is a step that will largely set this entire movement rolling down the hills to crash and break the wall of negligence. This book is an extended and updated version of the papers presented at the International Conference on ‘Empowering Women in Developing Countries through Information and Communication Technologies’ organised by the Centre for Science and Technology of the Non-Aligned and Other Developing Countries (NAM S&T Centre) at Waknaghat (Solan, HP), India.…
