Gender in the information society: emerging issues (pdf 990kb)

This publication is a collection of 13 papers developed for a pre-World Summit on the Information Society seminar, highlighting perspectives that critique the engagement with new technologies in various development sectors such as the governance, media and work.

Rooted in the ground realities of women, the publication provides frameworks of analyses and actions based on a range of experiences in the South Asian region.

Key issues discussed included gender roles and needs in e-governance, the ICT industry, cyber regulation, freedom of expression, right to information and communication and media.
