Women’sNet works to advance gender equality and justice in South Africa through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by providing training and facilitating content dissemination and creation that supports women, girls, and women’s and gender organisations and networks to take control of their own content and ICT use.

Recognising that ICTs are a gendered tool, Women’sNet seeks to address gender imbalances in the access and meaningful use of ICTs through research and advocacy for gender aware ICT programmes and policies at all levels of society. Women’sNet builds women’s organisational capacity to use technology strategically to find the people, resources, tools and content they need for social action.

Alternatives, the Action and Communication Network for International Development, is a Montréal-based non-governmental organisation.

Founded in 1994, Alternatives works to promote justice and equality amongst individuals and communities located in the North and the South. Active in over 35 countries, Alternatives supports local, community-based initiatives working towards the greater economic, social, and political rights of people and communities affected by poverty, discrimination, exploitation, and violence.

In each region, Alternatives works in direct partnership with groups of women and men who are struggling for progress, respect and justice, as well as the peace and sustainable development of their community, their environment, and their region.

Alternatives supports network creation between groups so that they can benefit from their shared experiences and successes. Network formation is crucial since it allows for deepened analysis and comprehension of the conflicts affecting their communities from the outside.

Alternatives’ and its partners’ international solidarity projects are centred on:

• The environment and sustainable development
• Democracy
• Rehabilitation of communities affected by war
• Good governance
• Socio-economic justice and equality
• Civil, political, economic, social and human rights
• The fight against poverty
• Women’s rights, equality between genders, the inclusion of women in all spheres of society
• Education and inclusion of youth
• Civil society development, management, and autonomy
• Freedom of organization, of information, of the press, and of religion
