This
paper was contributed for a report prepared for the United Nations Global
Alliance for ICT and Development (UN GAID) Global Forum on Access and
Connectivity in least developed countries and small islands developing states
in Asia/Pacific and innovative financing mechanisms for ICTD, in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, on 18-20 May 2008. This
paper explores the meanings of women's empowerment and gender equality in the
information society, looking at the opportunity for progressive change and
critically unpacking the ICTD discourse on gender and development. It also
seeks to articulate a rights-based framework to policy and action that takes
on the specific question of what models of access and connectivity will work
for the marginalised peoples and countries, in a manner that promotes gender
justice. ____________________________________________________________________
