Las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación y las mujeres: ¿pueden las nuevas tecnologías desbaratar el género?

Abstract

The ICT has become a referent that has changed the World in which we are
living. Globalization, the big flow of people, from South to North, the flexibility provided
by the technologies, which allows a quick and fast communication, all of them are
elements that characterizes our World. In this article we present some thoughts about
the role played by ICTs in the social change during the last decades. We analyze several
social movements and their impact on the democratic participation. We also explore the
new possibilities open to women in this new context, and we present some options of
development that could help them to overcome exclusion.
