TY - BOOK TI - Small but focused: Women (self) empowerment in a rural village AU - Sales Oliveira, Catarina AU - Nuno Amaral Jerónimo PY - 2016 DO - 10.4018/978-1-4666-9773-7.ch005 UR - http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84982987994&partnerID=MN8TOARS AB - In this chapter, we will offer some reflections on ICT accessibility, uses and perceptions by rural women. Using a sociological conceptual framework based on discussions on gender, ICT gap, and women empowerment (Stromquist, 2014; Mezirow, 2006), we will try to understand, in an innovative way, the available statistical data collected in national and international surveys on this subject; we will also add qualitative data collected in an exploratory study, conducted in a Portuguese rural village. This study was a multi-site ethnographic research project (Falzon & Hall, 2009) with participant observation and in-depth interviews. We analysed the infrastructure conditions and constraints, with the aim of giving a voice to the interviewed women, in order to better understand their representations of ICT and the reasons for their use and non-use. The results allow us to advance some possible paths to mitigate some of the constraints to ICT empowerment among rural women. ER -
