Introduction:

Communication, in the layman’s language means to convey a message, an idea, a picture or an idea, a picture or a speech that is received and understood clearly and correctly by the person for whom it is conveyed.

It encompasses a multitude of experiences, actions and events, as well as a whole variety of happenings and meanings, and technologies too.

As we know that contemporary period has come to be labelled variously the ‘Information Age’, ‘Communication Age’ and most recently the ‘Cyber or Networking Age’.


Women Communication & Knowledge Network

Women stand to benefit tremendously from the inroads laid by ICT in the domain of knowledge networking.

At the very conceptual level, ICT have the potential

to digitally link each and every woman in the world in star

topology network which opens up endless possibilities

for information exchange.

>This mechanism could be used by women in creative

ways, both to communication with other people who are

online, and also to disseminate information to people in

the outside world who are not online through the use of

convergence and hybrid technology such as community

Newsletters, videos etc.

Women Empowerment:

Empowerment is one of the key factors in determining the success of development is the status and position of women in the society.

Empowering women must be a united approach, a cause that requires continued attention and stewardship by all. Women are considered to be more honest, meticulous, and efficient and hence more and more companies prefer hiring women for better performance and result.

ICT however opens up a direct window for women in the context of knowledge societies in every walks of life whether they belongs to urban, semi-urban, rural and tribal.

ICT makes the role of time and distance less significant in organizing business and product related activities. As a result of the technology, a high proportion of jobs outsourced by big firms are going to women.

Political Empowerment:

The marginalization of women in political processes and governance in general has been both the cause and effect of slow progress made in the advancement of women.

By network of information exchange, there are endless possibilities for women to play a pro-active role and impact on governance processes at the local and global level.
