Feminists Doing Digital

Gender & Development is a unique journal that is also a project. Its aim is to inspire, influence and support development and humanitarian policy and practice, promoting  social justice and gender equality. Published by Oxfam for 25 years in partnership with Routledge/Taylor & Francis, the journal has become essential reading.We publish accessible yet rigorous articles by gender and development practitioners, policymakers and researchers, and feminist activists from around the globe.

Gender and Development Journal

The digital revolution is transforming how human beings live, work, and relate to each another. Information and communications technologies (ICTs) have vast potential to communicate, gain access to information and services, and catalyse collective action for social justice. But there is also the risk this revolution will fail to challenge stark inequalities in terms of who benefits and whose voice is heard. And technologies can be used by those who seek to challenge rights as well as realise them.
Join us at 5 for a 5.30 start for the launch event of <A HREF="http://www.genderanddevelopment.org/issues/262-icts/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">the new issue</A> of Gender &amp; Development which focuses on Information Communication Technologies from the perspective of women’s rights and gender justice.
Introduced by Dr. Caroline Sweetman, editor of Gender &amp; Development, you'll hear from a panel chaired by Dr. Awino Okech from the Centre of Gender Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies. Panelists include Dr. Ronda Zelezny-Green whose article in the journal focuses on the rights on Kenyan girls in the digital age and informal education, Shannon Philip who writes on Youth and ICTs in a 'new' India and co-editor Amy O'Donnell who is a specialist on digital technologies at Oxfam and Board member of anti-harassment charity Hollaback! 
Please sign up to indicate your interest and stay up to date on the details for the event. If you cannot join in person, we also intend to live stream on the Gender and Development Facebook page.
