=========================================================

Dear colleagues and friends,
we would like to present you a publication that has just been released
by UNDP. The publication is an output of the joined initiative of UNDP
Bratislava Regional Center and UNIFEM Central and Eastern Europe in
cooperation with APC Women's Networking Support Programme.

The name of the report is Bridging the Gender Digital Divide and you can
download it at
http://web.undp.sk/uploads/Gender%20and%20ICT%20reg_rep_eng.pdf.
Please find attached the launching note from UNDP.

We hope that this report will help initiate a discussion about women,
gender, and equal opportunities of women and men in relation to ICTs.
Such debate is currently in a not very advanced stage in our region of
Central and Eastern Europe. We are working towards mainstreaming the ICT
issues into the work of women's organisations in the CEE countries and
into ongoing processes such as Beijing+10 and WSIS.

We are both looking forward to your feedback!
