Despite 70% growth of ICT jobs since 1996, women account for only 16% of ICT roles and only 1% of the total female employed population are employed in  ICT roles.   The percentage of female technology graduates has also been in decline since 1989.

The Victorian ICT for Women Network is an industry-driven initiative which aims to facilitate entry, retention and progression for women working in ICT.

The Network was established in response to a growing acknowledgement by government and the industry about the declining number of women entering the industry as well as the impact of current low female participation levels on the skills base of ICT in Victoria.   The Network represents a real desire by government, corporates and vendors to ‘invest in action’ to address female skills gaps and lack of interest in pursuing ICT careers by increasing awareness of the diversity of ICT roles.”

The Network is a critical link between government, business, the education sector and other industry associations to collaborate, and influence the direction of ICT in Victoria.

Through a range of practical, sustainable initiatives, the Network will provide:

• Personal and professional networking
• Knowledge and skills development
• Career and business development
• Access to and connection with other women in ICT
• Education forums and events
• Mentoring and scholarship programs
• Regular member communication

Women, Media and Change (WOMEC) is a national independent Non-Profit and Non-Governmental Organization established in 1994 in response to the need of promoting effective use of the media for the advancement of women.

WOMEC recognizes that women’s issues are a dimension of many issues such as education, health, environment, and human rights, and is committed to giving women public voice and visibility through the mass media to expand their participation in the public arena.

Since WOMEC was founded and in a relatively brief period of operation, its work and activities have earned for it very quickly growing respect and recognition among women’s organization and individual women who seek to make an impact in their chosen fields of endeavor through effective use of the media.

WOMEC is the only such organization in Ghana actively working in this direction.

WOMEC believes all segments of the population must be given equal space to develop their full potentials. In line with this, WOMEC is committed to creating a forum for networking and fostering exchanges among different segments of the population.

WOMEC aims at achieving its goal by:

Providing media skills training for women both in leadership and at the grassroots level
Giving greater visibility to women through the media
Giving visibility to female electioneering candidates through the media before, during and after elections
Serving as a centre of excellence that focuses on the training, capacity building and create a platform for exchange of ideas and facilitates networking of media women in the sub-region for female journalists;
Developing a database on women in the media in Africa which will hold information on the human resources of female journalists in Africa;

Organizing ICT training for women NGO’s and women in media to help them to effectively use ICT in their work;
Establishing an exchange program for female journalists in Africa to enable them share experiences, ideas and learn from each other.
