Digt@l Div@s: All Hooked Up

This publication describes the experience of the Zimbabwe Women's Resource Centre and Network (ZWRCN) and provides testimonials from the young women involved. The Digital Divas programme seeks to develop a technological interest in young women through skill-building, while at the same time providing role models in the women that are providing the training.

This publication discusses the stories of girls who attended the ICT training workshop for rural girls from Shurugwi. It states how the workshop gave them a clearer picture of what the organisation was doing to help the disadvantaged communities in promoting ICT and HIV/AIDS awareness from a gender perspective.

Topics include:

• The IT Gender Challenge
• Logging onto Consciousness raising
• Lessons for young women wanting careers in politics
• Potential to empower
• Balancing the scales
