Synopsis The ICT systems seen as global ‘open space’ for information, have been a driving force for globalization.  It has paved the way for press freedom and democracy in many countries in the world.  ICTs have also enabled women’s groups with diverse interests and agendas both within countries and across borders to come together.  Reports point to the fact that ICTs have given women employment.  To address ICT gaps and inequalities, a number of NGOs around the world have made it their special mission to help women understand ICT and equip them with the necessary tools that they can use to help themselves.
