Inspiring change in ICT for women in Zambia through the Asikana Network By Laida Chongo
As a woman passionate about women taking up space in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), I believe in making calls for solid and strategic action that would allow for more women in the space. One such organizing that has been at the forefront in terms of accelerating growth in harnessing the digital space and internet rights for girls, is a bonafide Zambian Women Organization which has dedicated itself to mentoring young women in various ICT skills. The organization comes in form of a Network called Asikana Network, a women driven group that aims to empower mostly young women and equip them with ICT skills to help in their various endeavours.
