Through a feminist lens that brings together economic justice and gender justice concerns, this paper traces the key elements of the right to access, right to knowledge and right to development in the network society context. It highlights how this three-pronged approach to scoping the “right to communicate” can serve as a guiding framework for feminist analysis and action at the intersections of gender, digital technologies and development.
The paper outlines strategic directions for feminist advocacy in relation to information and communications technologies (ICTs), at different scales and spaces – global, national and local.
