The decision to draw up an own-initiative report on promoting women’s participation in what is known as the ‘new information society’ was a good one.
I welcome in particular:
its condemnation of the policy for the development of new ICT, which has largely been focused on economic aspects, and in which control is left mainly to the private sector, without any assessment of the social impact or proper incentives policies for equal rights of women and men. As the report states, this approach leads to the inappropriate perception of open participation to all.
its warning about the growing danger of social exclusion caused by the inability to use ICTs – so-called digital illiteracy – which mainly affects women.
the need to pay particular attention to women, particularly older women, unemployed and low-income women, migrant women, women belonging to ethnic minorities and women with disabilities.
I do not agree, however, with the uncritical tone the report adopts towards the neoliberal policies advocated in the so-called ‘Lisbon Strategy’ and in the ‘guidelines for employment’, consequently sweeping under the carpet the main causes of inequality and social injustice, of which women are the main victims."@en1
