• Position: News in Brief - Brief Article

More and more Senegalese women are using the new information and communication technologies (NICTs) to fight for equal rights and gender equity. This idea is at the heart of the "Information and Communication Technologies in Support of the Women's Programme for Gender Equality in Senegal". The programme, which is the first virtual resource, information and action space on sustainable development for francophone African women, was set up by Enda Tiersmonde, in partnership with the Siggil Jiggen Network with the support of the International Development Resource (RCID) Acacia Initiative this year. The programme aims to create a network for information--sharing to promote the cause of women and as a means of expression for gender justice.
