Abstract

Digital technology opens up a direct window for women to the outside world. Information flows to them without distortion or any form of censoring, and they have access to the same information as their counterparts. This leads to broadening of perspectives, building up of greater understanding of their current situation, and causes of poverty and the initiation of interactive processes for information exchange. Furthermore, such forms of networking open up alternate forms of communication. The present study is an analysis of the digital gender divide and strategies that are inclusive when it comes to women. It also deals with impact of the significant reduction in the cost of internet services that will enable more women to use the internet more frequently for information.
