Women's Net

Unlocking Women’s Collective Power

We speak not for ourselves but we are the voice for thousands of woman… for their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated.
Women’sNet is a South African based non-governmental organisation that strengthens the women and girls movements for social change. Through the strategic use of information communication tools, we promote access and the right to information and freedom of expression. We believe that deep sustainable change for women’s rights requires women’s collective action.

Strengthen Social Change

Women’sNet is a South African based non-governmental organisation that strengthens women and girls movements for social change through the strategic use of information communication tools and advocacy that promotes access, the right to information and freedom of expression.

Our Vision is that all women and girls, confidently exercise their information and communication rights to create social capital and wealth that positively impacts their lives. 

Women’sNet achieves this through the following:

• Empowering women and girls to use, control and adapt to new information by providing communication tools, skills and knowledge to help them meet their own needs and to claim their rights.
• Collaborating with networks and campaigns, Women’sNet successfully advocates for policy change that promotes gender justice, internet rights and freedoms.
• Advocate for universal access to affordable, secure and gender-aware information and communication technology services.
• Act as innovative lead agents for social change supported by knowledgeable and skilled people.
• Monitor and evaluate our interventions in order to increase our impact and deepen our practice.  

How we work

Information and communications technology (ICT) has the potential to make organisations more effective, to reach more people and to help organisational goals. ICT can also increase your organisation’s workload, and create blockages in your work, where there is a skills deficit.

Womens’Net creates needs-based training courses for women’s NGO’s on using technology more effectively. The training focuses on the strategic use of technology to meet the direct needs of women. We conduct training on producing audio files for community radio and the internet, creating digital stories, by using the internet and email effectively, on advocacy and lobbying online and other tailor-made courses.
