WWW - Women with WWW

As part of its 10th anniversary programs, SPACE organised a seminar and workshop on Safe and Effective use of Internet at  at Govt. Women's College, Vazhuthacaud from 11 to 13th Nov 2013.

The pervasive presence of information technology demands a new kind of awareness among women, for whom this technology has opened up new opportunities as well as challenges. Women have become victims to new forms of violence perpetrated by means of technology to the extent that it has escalated into a social issue which has unfortunately not been adequately addressed, as technology is something that confounds many people. Addressing this issue and promoting the safe use of technology among women were  the main motive behind this endeavour.
