GenderIT.org emerged from the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) Women's Networking Support Programme's (WNSP) advocacy work in information and communications technologies (ICTs). The need to have examples of national policy, gender-sensitive language, tools for lobbying, and an understanding of the impact of poor or positive policy all within easy access has been expressed by ICT advocates and policy makers alike.
GenderIT.org is the result of months of researching, classifying, interpreting and monitoring ICT policies which affect women around the world, but specifically in four regions – Africa, Asia-Pacific, Central Eastern Europe and Latin America.

The Monitor has three main objectives:
* To develop an information resource/knowledge sharing site for gender and ICT advocates, civil society organizations and policy makers that wish to be active in gender and ICT policyi.

* To raise awareness among civil society organizations, specifically in women’s movements, regarding gender and ICT policy issues.
* To empower women’s organizations and networks in collaboration with other civil society actors to take action on ICT policy issues and develops ICT policy that meets their needs. To encourage them to lobby for an information society that builds social justice and human rightsi, at the national, regional and global level.

GenderIT.org welcomes all feedback and content submissions from our readers. We rely on you to help us monitor current Information and Communication Policy landscape.
