We in the World Network

The development of the We in the World Network in the communications, gender and new technologies arenas became the ideal scenario to spread knowledge, to allow for the acquisition of skills and the exchange of experiences among Ibero-American women.
This was the perfect framework to articulate actions that made female realities (their struggles, claims, cultural exchanges) visible, strengthening bonds and sonority among Ibero-American women.
The activities developed belong to a reality of female struggle for their right to information and communication.
From various economic, cultural, social and political perspectives, the project used training, information, and diffusion as means to favor knowledge and awareness about female rights.
The Network’s means of communication have encouraged solidarity toward women from other countries and cultures, informing about their difficulties and claims, about how to create contacts and what the main priorities settled to tackle their problems are. Resources and strategies on how to become organized and make a group use of information through new technologies are taught.
The We in the World Network’s proposals have been particularly useful in order to become closer to female organizations and set up contacts, connecting them in order to exchange ideas and experiences. Female networks have been set as tools to reinforce lines of work with common interests and exchanges. Among their functions, there is the strengthening of cultural diversity, the promotion and protection of female rights, supported by communication.
The ICTs proposal has made communication easier and succeeded in the approach among cultures, promoting and providing tools that have been used not only to transfer information, but that have also played a really important role in the strengthening and support of group initiatives and cooperative actions, in relation with the demands and needs of women in Ibero-American countries.
The project, developed from the active involvement of its members, has rescued the strategic relevance communicational networks have in order to obtain the reaction, support and complicity of women, and the empowerment of women from Cordoba and Latin America, by making use of the modern Information and Communications technologies in the development and protection of female rights.
