Civil Society Input at the Opening Session of IGF

The civil society input delivered by Natasha Primo from Women'sNet (South Africa) during the Opening Session of the Internet Governance Forum (October, 2006). In her speech, she put forward five challenges facing the IGF: extending a human rights culture within the information society; making internet access universal and affordable; building capacity for developing country participation; building an inclusive process and space that capitalises on the knowledge and participation of women; and the IGF as process and the road to Rio.
