Do ICTs really empower rural women? Interrogation of a Zimbabwean community ICT project
Margaret Zunguze · 2011
This profile focuses on the work of E-Knowledge for Women in Southern Africa (EKOWISA), a Zimbabwean non-governmental organisation that encourages communities to use Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) for livelihood development. The paper interrogates the assumption that ICTs empower women, the meaning of empowerment as well as the particular challenges to ICT access in rural areas (Marcelle, 2000) based on EKOWISA's Community ICT project.
