Editorial: A Gender Perspective What has the DOT-COM Alliance done to address these issues and ensure women's ability to take advantage of IT opportunities? The articles in this May 2005 issue of the DOT-COMments eNewsletter provide some answers to this question. <http://www.dot-com-alliance.org/newsletter/article.php?article_id=120> 2. Women and ICT Policy Focusing efforts into increasing women's participation in policy, regulatory and advocacy issues is an effective and powerful way to achieve competitive and fair levels in the ICT sector. This has the potential to increase the role of women in community decision making, where they can influence policy issues at any government level. With increased participation, women can then ensure that gender issues are taken into account in ICT resource planning and administration. <http://www.dot-com-alliance.org/newsletter/article.php?article_id=122> 3. Gender Strategies in dot-ORG Projects What do dot-ORG projects in Mali, Brazil, Macedonia and Uganda have in common beyond the fact that they all involve the provision of some form of information technology? They have all designed strategies that take gender into account, strategies that ensure that women have the same opportunities as men to access and utilize information technology. <http://www.dot-com-alliance.org/newsletter/article.php?article_id=121> 4. Marching for Gender Equity in Peru High in the Peruvian Andes a grassroots movement supporting gender equity has taken hold.
