APC Talk
This section is a space where APC's staff, members and readers can open up conversations on topics that are of interest for the ICT community.

The views expressed in this section do not necessarily reflect the views of APC or its network, but that does not make them any less valuable.

Women from the Center for New Words this weekend have said that’s what they are all about: finding new solutions for old problems, making women’s words matter, wedging open spaces for women’s voices to be heard. The CNW launched WAM!, Women, Action and Media three years ago as ...
