This year’s theme for WTISD entitles “Women and Girls in ICT” aligns the basic objective of ICTs to create equal opportunities and openness for all — irrespective of gender or creed — with a special focus on women and girls. Gender equality is a basic human right enshrined in the UN Charter, and it is one of the main objectives of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). ICTs are tools that can help accelerate progress. This year’s focus is on special efforts for women and girls, using the power of ICTs to provide new digital opportunities to end discrimination and empower the female half of the world’s population to achieve their rightful place as equals in the world towards achieving this critical target.”
