Global Women’s ICT Network(GWIN) was established in December 2013 with the objective of promoting women’s usage of ICT and smart technology in the global region.
Built on the knowledge and experience of APEC Women’s e-Biz Center and Asia Pacific Women’s Information Network Center(APWINC), GWIN promotes women’s economic empowerment through ICT and smart technology. GWIN has had close partnership with APWINC for research, training, policy supporting and community building for women in underdeveloped and developing countries in the Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.
GWIN has organized GWIN-Korea(Dec 2013), GWIN-Indonesia (Jan 2014) and GWIN-USA(Jan 2014). GWIN will establish more network in Singapore, the Philippines, Canada, Africa and Latin America.
The four functions of GWIN are research, training, policy forum and community building on Gender & ICT and innovative ICT. As a global ICT network for women, GWIN provides an excellent platform where the knowledge on Gender & ICT and innovative ICT is shared.
