PASHA and Bytes For All organized a 2-day National Strategy Workshop on National Strategy Workshop – Strengthening Women’s Strategic Use of ICT to Combat Violence against Women.

Bytes for All (B4A) is a South Asia wide regional network of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professionals and practitioners. B4A is actively working on the use of ICTs for sustainable development. While B4A particularly focuses on ICT policy advocacy and research, it also looks at implementation of ICT solutions to pressing challenges in our society.

Pakistan Software Houses Association for IT & ITES is a platform for promoting, protecting and developing the IT industry in Pakistan. It is a membership based trade body and represents Pakistan’s Information Technology sector. Policy Advocacy is a key component of P@SHA’s mandate.

In Pakistan, Bytes for All, in collaboration with P@SHA is implementing a 2-year project titled “Strengthening Women’s Strategic Use of Information and Communications Technologies to Combat Violence against Women and Girls”.

The ultimate goal of the project is to help create a global community of women from diverse professions and fields of expertise, who will then critically take up ICT tools and use them to combat violence against women prevailing in the society.
