Designing for trauma
S. Revi Sterling · 2013
It is a development axiom that women's empowerment is a critical key to successful, sustainable development. While great strides have been made in recognizing women's needs, both as participants and beneficiaries of development efforts, Violence against Women (VAW) continues to rob women of the agency and opportunity that empowerment strategies aim to offer. Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD) interventions have been adopted as mechanisms to support VAW prevention, protection at the point of violence, and post-VAW treatment. This short paper explores these efforts from both a survey and critical lens.
