Action Steps: A decade of civil society advocacy in the information society

The purpose of this review was to look back over the past decade of country reports published in Global Information Society Watch (GISWatch) and attempt to identify trends in civil society perspectives on what needed to be done to create a people-centred information society. The period for analysis was, more accurately, just over a decade: 2007-2017, during which a GISWatch report was produced each year – a total of 11 reports.

2016 - Direitos Econômicos, Sociais e Culturais (DESC) e a internet

Os 47 relatórios nacionais aqui reunidos ilustram a ligação entre a internet e os direitos económicos, sociais e culturais (DESC). Alguns dos temas serão familiares aos ativistas das tecnologias da informação e comunicação para o desenvolvimento (ICT4D): direito à saúde, educação e cultura; O empoderamento socioeconômico das mulheres que utilizam a internet; A inclusão das comunidades rurais e indígenas na sociedade da informação; e a utilização das TIC para combater a marginalização das línguas locais.
