In Progress

For femLINKPACIFIC, participating in the research project was an opportunity to delve into the realities of why “we do the work we do.” Not only was the research project a critical way to identify the most appropriate means of information and communication in supporting the empowerment of rural communities. It was also an opportunity to generate greater discussion of the existing gender power relations when it comes to information and communication.

While “we do the work we do,” we have also realised the need for a broader public as well as feminist discussion on the ability of rural women to access information and the links of a woman’s personal empowerment to the availability of such information.

The PC4D research process likewise emphasised even more that such information can not be homogenised into a one-size-fits-all package, yet it must be available in formats that women in all our diversities can access, understand, or share further.
