Women have to prove themselves to society, at least in Guatemala the oportunities for women working with ICT are quite lower than for men, however I believe that as women get interested in these issues and not only interested but involved, the oportunities are going to be more and more… nowadays I’ve noticed that women are more interested in being part of the world from a technology perspective, using blogs to express themselves is a very significant first step. I appreciate that you mention our work at vinvulacion.wordpress.com, Ana Luisa Chután and me are working on develope our proyect to help our country to develope by using technology, we are involved in a organization that promotes the use of technology (http://www.fundatics.org) in Guatemala, most of the people that integrate this organization are men, but I think that by being acknowledge by this organization we are making a difference for women in our country.

[...] Women literacy and improving education for girls can contribute to solve major problems by providing access to reproductive health information to prevent diseases, for example. Hopefully Central American women will increase in number of users of technology, producers and policy makers! [...]

In the region where we live is very important the level of technological knowdledge that women can take for 2 reasons: Woman is the base of the family, if woman have a good level of technological skills it will be projected to their childs and they will have better oportunities. In this society were some people think that men should have better oprtunities than women, this kind of articules show the potential that women can have.
Congratulations to these women who help their comunity and try to make a better world.
