Empowering girls and women through the use of information and communication technologies

The theme of the 2015 UNESCO Mobile Learning Week is Leveraging Technology to Empower Women and Girls. It is co-organised with UN Women and runs from 23 to 27 February 2015 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) contribute to literacy and numeracy by enhancing access and outreach, motivating learners to engage or re-engage in learning, improving the quality of teaching and learning, and boosting the possibilities for lifelong learning.
