Why feminist?

A feminist approach is a gendered critique of the design, use and impact of technology, and also the idea that empowering women to participate in using technology can help change the future of it.  We believe that equal participation of women in producing technology and decision-making around it is important because it ensures that that widely-used technology does not alienate women, and can in turn be a tool for them to improve their own quality of life.
