While much of today's world runs on information and communication technology
(ICT), many women still remain disconnected from the global technological
revolution. According to Basheerhamad Shadrach, Executive Director of
telecentre.org Foundation, the problem is more common in developing countries,
where United Nations (UN) statistics that show as much as 60% of women end
up as unpaid family workers. The "Telecentre Women's Campaign" however
hopes to provide a solution: access to ICT. Dr. Shadrach says, "For women
especially, ICT has proven to be life-changing. It has broken traditions and social
prejudices, expanded their roles in society and home, and given many a new
economic and social freedom."
