The need for this intervention on Nigerian women can not be overemphasised especially where the women believe that any technological oriented work is an exclusive preserve of the male folks
Thanks for your comment, Nkechi. By teaching women to use tools like the cameras on their phones to video record and take still photograph, as well as using blogs and other social media to share images and videos and discuss issues, we really hope to do two things.
First, to equip the women with skills that they can use to highlight violence against women taking place in their society. And secondly, to help them develop technology skills that could benefit them in other ways, e.g. in being better positioned for employment or entrepreneurship.
