The Institute is an outgrowth of the Global Women’s History Project at Westfield State college. It is organized around an educational model that links academic and activist work of women. This work has the potential to transform the way we think and behave. We believe that documenting and archiving the contributions of women in history and current events is often marginalized. We hope that the Global Women’s History Institute will begin to address these lapses and build links between and among women around the world. We anticipate that the Global Women’s History Institute will become a valuable resource, and we encourage your feedback. Links to the Global Women’s History Project, as well as Month Celebrating Women, and the Women’s Studies Program at Westfield State College are highlighted for your convenience. (full text).

News, press coverage;
Contact.Digital Empowerment foundation works in the area of Development in relations to Information Communication Technology with especial focus in research and assessment and recognizing the un-recognised. Ironically, most of the movements in the ICT for Development sector are more about technology and less about final deliverables or content in general. DEF observed that most of the innovative initiatives at the grassroots level using ICT do not get attention and recognition which could easily enable them to move forward.
