Feminist Tech Exchange 2009: Engendering a Feminist Practice of Technology
"I used to think that ICTs/IT was just about computers and stuff, I never thought that you can use it to make a difference emotionally, physically and mentally and this workshop was a wake-up call for me"
"ICTs is powerful in giving voice to victims of VAW, for advocacy and for healing. It can not only spread messages but the realities and experiences of survivors"
"before [the training] I did not know that something like VAW, which is so emotional, could be influenced by something so non-emotional like technology"

Wow, this workshop came at the right time for me. I have enjoyed it much and I assure you it was time put to good use.. The skills learnt will go a long way to assist me in my everyday business at work. Can you imagine, I even learnt about keeping a diary, using my skills to network with colleagues and accessing the web will assist me with research regarding issues in my constituency? I now can easily store data without going about carrying large files and folders... How neat! I wish this knowledge will be availed to other women out there to enable them to access information at the touch of a button.(Hon Thoko Mathuthu -

This training programme is just what I have waited for since I became a Member of Parliament. I assure you that the forthcoming Constitution Making Process will see a high level participation from women MPs including myself. We will start with advocacy for women inclusion in the process. The best part of the training was the practical part of it." (the Honerable Ms Matamisa) (Training was held in march 2009, in partnership with the SADC Parliamentary Forum)

Members of the staff have blogs, and they have a group on flickr."

“PATH provides support to the Reproductive Rights Alliance and as a member, Women’sNet provides an invaluable service to the entire Alliance and beyond by hosting the listserv, enabling members from across the country to stay abreast of the latest sexual and reproductive health information and to mobilize on a minutes notice when there is work to be done. This communication link is the most valuable operational unit within the Reproductive Rights Alliance.”

“ICT that facilitates networking and participation enables better programming and faster response time. The glitch-free list serve, supported by Women’sNet, serves as an accessible and relevant tool in support of our broader goal for social transformation in the area of sexual and reproductive health.”
