Vision & Mission

Vision

To use ICT’s strategically to create a society where women and girls are equal participants and agents of social change

Mission

Women’sNet is a South African based non-governmental organisation that works to advance gender equality. Our work focuses on the intersection between gender and information and communication technologies (ICTs). We recognise that ICTs are a gendered tool and aim to address imbalances in women and men’s access to and meaningful use of ICT’s.

Women’sNet achieves this through:

• Providing training that supports women, girls, women’s organisations and networks to develop content and harness the technologies that support their social and organisational objectives
• Creating content platforms and processes that amplify women and girl’s experiences and stories
• Using ICTs to support gender-aware programming, advocacy and networking for collective action
• Conducting research and undertaking advocacy initiatives to integrate gender perspectives into ICT policies and programmes
