EXPLOITING THE POTENTIALS OF INTERNET IN WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Abstract

Empowering women particularly is currently an issue of concern. Exposing women to information and communication technology will improve the lives of women economically, socially, and politically. This paper looks critically at the way by which Information and Communication Technology has been employed in enhancing the powerlessness and voicelessness of women in various parts of the developing countries. It also raises questions about some basic considerations to be made in the planning and execution of empowerment approaches for women.
