An insightful blog post focusing on the importance of gender in Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) by TUChangemakers co-facilitator Sebastian Molina. Sebastian is an International Development, International Relations, and Economics triple major. Read the full piece here: Why Should We Empower Women in the Use of ICTs?

There is no escaping the fact that there exists a great divide in the use of ICTs between men and women. However, exactly how important is it to bridge this gap? Personally, I have always believed that morally this gap should definitely be closed but I was also pleased to discover that it is also common sense to do so as it can bring many advantages both to women and society as a whole.
