Technology and Women Empowerment

Irrespective of the language, nationality, religion, status, women are playing multiple roles in their way of life. Since 1970s, women have been benefited from women’s liberation movements and taken ever grater leads in business education, politics and public life. When compared with pre-independence era, now-a-days women are educated and are participating in all fields on par with men, viz., Economic, Political, Social, Sports, Educational, Entrepreneurship, Navy, Air force, Army, Space Technology, etc. and are contributing a considerable part to the economy. As women became aware of technology they are empowering themselves and enjoying the fruits of technological progress in all domains. Having access to technology, control of it and ability to create and shape it is a fundamental issue. The major aim of any technology is to help end the gender technology gap and empower women and girls to create, innovative solutions to advance for equality in the society. One way or the other technological revolution has changed the lifestyle of human beings. But it has both positive and negative effects on women and girls. On the positive side it is supporting women to have a better standard of living and to participate in decision making processes. On the negative side it is misused to degrade women’s status and leading towards raising violence against women. As technology is treated as a knife with sharp edges on both sides, it is the responsibility of everyone to make use of it with right sense so as to promote the wellbeing of human kind. Hence articles relating to Technology for Women Empowerment in different areas viz., Education, Health, Employment, Children, Politics, Industry, Agriculture, Social, Safety, etc. are invited from academicians, Government Officials, NGO Personnel, Project Directors and Programme Coordinators.…
