Dear Listers,
As we celebrate International Women's Day on March 8th, KICTANet joins the global call to action reflected in this year's theme: "Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress."
While we acknowledge the strides made towards gender equality, the digital space remains a frontier where women face unique challenges. Disproportionate rates of online gender-based violence, privacy breaches, and underrepresentation in decision-making processes paint a worrying picture.
Investing in women's digital rights is key to creating a safer and more inclusive online world.
At KICTANet, we firmly believe that:
- Safe spaces for women online are essential for their participation and expression.
- Bridging the gender digital divide is crucial for inclusive access to opportunities and resources.
- Increased participation of women in ICT will lead to more equitable policies and practices.

Kind Regards,
David Indeje
