About me
While not a gender specialist, I have a demonstrated commitment to women's issues and mainstreaming women's considerations in my development work. My work and training related to women's empowerment includes: Compiling Women's Access to Public Internet Access, a resource to support the development of women-only Internet centers/technology centers/etc., or women-only hours at such public Internet access points, in developing and transitional countries. 2010; Compiled Empowering Women Everywhere - Essential to Development Success, a list of research and articles that confirm that empowering women is essential to development success and highlight the very particular challenges to women's access to education, health care, safety and economic prosperity; Edited reports from international and national staff at a government ministry in Afghanistan with an eye to how women's concerns are, or are not, represented in field work, and made recommendations on how to address or communicate this. 2007; Worked with a gender specialist in the development of training materials to help local Afghan staff incorporate a women's focus in their work at all levels. 2007; Trained federal ministry staff in Afghanistan on how to take photos in a culturally-sensitive manner, particularly with regard to respect for local customs regarding women, and to meet various needs, e.g. to show female participation. 2007; Created and delivered a presentation for Afghan women on public speaking. 2007; Advised aspiring women bloggers, as well as female students of a variety of ages, from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kenya, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and various locations in "the West" through a variety of online programs. 2006-present; Facilitated "Gender and the Digital Divide," an online discussion for TechSoup.
