Women and Technology : Development Perspective and Social Work Intervention
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Market economy trends in the new era of globalization have widened the gap between education and technology opportunities for men and women. Women are a great human resource and their role in the society is vital for its progress. The involvement and engagement of women in the present day Information Society on an equal footing with men would directly contribute to improving the livelihood of people, making it more sustainable and thereby promoting the social and economic advancement of societies. Technology brings economic growth and well-being to people. Undoubtedly, technology can be vastly enriched through women’s involvement, which closely links to the empowerment of women through technology. It is not the concern of one nation only, but there are many players and stakeholders in the aim to reach this millennium goal. Women empowerment may be through innovative scientific activities, integrating action oriented literacy, sound micro-finance and micro-enterprise training as well as an understanding of legal rights and advocacy. Apart from the efforts of the United Nations family of organizations, multilateral bodies and civil society, the positive role of women also depends on the supportive attitudes of their local family unit, the local community in each village and town. This material is expected to contribute to the understanding of how technology can contribute to the upliftment of the status of women and can empower them to gain their rightful place in the society. Here the researcher has reviewed the various available secondary resources to give the conceptual clarity regarding the concept.
