[Wigsat-l] Expert Database on Gender and ICTs

[Sophia Huyer]

Greetings,

The International Taskforce on Women in ICTs (http:// 
www.itfwomenict.org) is a community of expertise of organizations,  
institutions and individuals working to increase the economic, social,  
and educational opportunities for women and girls in the knowledge  
society in a measurable way.  It focuses on four main areas of  
activity relating to gender and ICT: Education, Workforce,  
Entrepreneurship and Leadership.

The ITF runs an expert database on gender and ICTs which is hosted by  
WIGSAT-Women, Knowledge Technology. It is a resource for agencies,  
private sector, governments, NGOs and others looking for experts,  
speakers, consultants, advisors, or partners on the gender dimensions  
of ICTs relating to :
The use of ICTs by women and to improve women's lives
Computing, design and the IT sector
IT education and professional development for a diverse workforce
ICT-based and e-education and
ICT-supported entrepreneurship.
The ITF uses this database to provide expertise in its work with major  
international ICT4D initiatives, such as the UN Global Alliance on  
ICTs for Development, the Global Knowledge Partnership, and the UN  
Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean.   It will  
also contribute to the expansion of the ITF Global Women and  
Technology initiative.

At this time we are especially looking for gender experts in the area  
of ICT, Innovation and Education.

To submit a profile to the database, go to http://taskforce.wigsat.org.

We look forward to hearing from you!
