#CYBERFEMINISM

Cyberfeminism is not about membership, but about activity. As soon as you have developed your personal approach to Cyberfeminism, you are a Cyberfeminist.

There are historical reasons for male overrepresentation in ICT, but here are also reasons that have to do with power. Technology in general represents power, and in a world with structural subordination of women, empowerment in field of technology is especially important in breaking patriarchal structures. Anthropologists point out that the cyber world has tendencies to what they call "masculine Culture", and this is something we have to address. At the same time, cyber - and cyborg! - issues hold several keys to bridging the gender gap. The Swedish Government wants to strengthen gender equality, improve women's access to resources and technology and increase women's representation - we call it a feminist foreign policy. We will persistently and actively address the structural and historical inequalities in power relations from a rights perspective.
