Introduction
This Study’s principal goal has been to explore through
informal collaborative networks and women’s local communities, how women have
access and use ICTs for health, with a particular attention to women living in
conflicts, refugee camps and natural disasters. It aims at giving a voice to
local communities and silent populations living in difficult contexts. The
study does not pretend to be scientific although the data collection and
analysis follows the rigorous scientific, technical and ethical requirements of
the foresight methodology described on Millennia2015 website and in WeHealth
guidelines.
These
Key Findings are the result of a two-year data collection process conducted by
the WeHealth International Working Group, a network of 534 members in
62 countries. The data analysis applied an original qualitative approach
that employed the overall themes of Women, Health, and ICTs to generate action
plans to close the gender and digital gaps, for women’s health and empowerment,
and to promote connectivity in their communities.
