Online Discussion: How can access to ICTs promote opportunities for women and girls?
From 3-10 February 2012, Wikigender hosted its first online discussion. The chosen topic echoed the recently launched [Special_Focus|Girls in ICT portal], which we feature in our Community Portal Wikigender gathered your views on how can access to ICTs promote opportunities for women and girls.
In particular, the main sub-question here is how can social networks foster gender equality.
Whether you work in the ICT sector and you are a woman, if you have succeeded thanks to social networks and would like to share your story, or if you would like to simply express your opinion on whether social networks can foster gender equality, your contributions are welcome!
For inspiration, see the articles on .

The discussion will be centered around the following questions:
- Best practices and case studies of where women and girls were empowered via social networks (e.g. starting a business, career, education…)
- Organisations, networks and tools which have been essential and successful in empowering women and girls
- The wider policy context (equal opportunities and access issues)
