In the spotlight: gender experiences and ICTs in Latin America and the Caribbean

The study - conducted by the Regional Workshop: “From Fringe to Gender: Gender Equity in Building the Information Society” organized by the WSIS Gender Caucus Steering Committee on May 9, 10 and 11, 2005 -, seeks to provide an overview of Latin American and Caribbean countries showing trends and/or strategies in place, as well as examples of major organizations and networks implementing plans and projects. Features, objectives and potential impact are analyzed. The sustainability of some projects is examined as well. Finally, the existence of a myriad of strategies -or lack thereof- applied to actions and initiatives carried out by countries has led us to put forward some work proposals.
