Abstract: 
What role can ICT play in women's aspirations? How can ICT advance their hopes for equal opportunity in societies in developing countries? This is a topic Dr Nancy Hafkin has been devoted to for over 30 years. The well-known scholar is not only a pioneer in the field of ICT for Development. Her work with the Association for Progressive Communication, for example, helped bring e-mail connectivity to nations that had no Internet connection. She is also a strong advocate of gender equity in technology usage. Nancy Hafkin will bring a broad perspective to the plenary discussion on Thursday, May 28th.
