Working with women in ICTD

Abstract:

The fifth Sustainable Development Goal instituted by the United Nations in 2015 presents a call for gender equality, targeting the elimination of "discrimination, violence, and exploitation against women". We present an analysis of recent conversations within the Information and Communication Technology and Development (ICTD) community aiming to identify ways in which the community might approach conceptualizing, designing, and deploying ICTs to address vital concerns in this regard. We also articulate ways to frame and address key challenges moving forward through more holistic and sustainable approaches, greater engagement with diverse stakeholders, and evolved methodological toolkits.
