Calling for writers! GenderIT.org has been cited by readers as an important, singular website that engages with issues around gender & ICT policies. We are building a pool of writers who can contribute on a freelance basis. The first round received many outstanding applications, some of whom have been confirmed as part of our dynamic writing pool.

However, to keep the site relevant to diverse realities, we are now issuing a second round of calls, specifically for writers from the Africa region and Arab world.

The GenderIT.org pool of writers is open for:

• Advocates, journalists, bloggers, researchers, and people working in the field of gender, development and/or ICT polices;
• Applicants who are proficient in English, with good writing skills and a good grasp of women's and media and/or communication rights in their region;
• Applicants should be able to offer gender/feminist analysis on ICT policy issues and processes;
• Applicants are based in countries within the Africa region or Arab world.
  

The issues to be covered by the writing team will be collaboratively defined with other writers, editors and the GenderIT.org coordinator over email and during regular on-line meetings. Payment rates will depend on the kind of articles, issues covered and level of analysis.

We'd like to hear about your experiences in the gender and/or ICT polices, and the priority areas of focus related to this area.  Please send a short email in English or Spanish explaining your interest in joining us, a sample of your work (article, research or analytical writing especially if it is related to the themes covered by genderIT.org), and your CV to genderit@apcwomen.org with the subject line “Application: Pool of writers”.
