Uses of Information technology for Nigerian women.
Information can be said to mean knowing about something,or being aware of the situation
of things or the state of affairs in a particular state,country or the world as a whole.
Technology on the other hand is about being digital.it has to do with things that are not done manually.
Examples of things that are technological in nature are computers,cars,mobile phones,internet,I-pod to name but a few.
As nigerian women if we can combine information and technology then some of this oppressions,segregation,victimization,
against women will cease to happen.
Information and technology can be usefull in a case where the woman is being ill-treated maybe in her marital home,office,
e.t.c,she will be aware of her rights and fight for it.
Also in the popular case of uzoma okere it was through information technology we saw how the lady was maltreated and various groups took an interest in the case and fought against the injustice.
Also in the case where some policemen killed a woman and tagged her as an armed robber not knowing that a farmer had taken her picture as she lay on the ground dead with her clothes on.Only for the policemen to stip her naked and say she was shot during an operation.Alas on finding out where she lived, it was in a slum.The question on everyones lips was now if she was a robber how come she lived in abject poverty?
Another way women can use information technology is to use as a source of income.e.g.placing ads on thier blogs so when people visit it they can make money,it can also be used to advertise thier businesses like the omooba bridal shop that advertises on facebook.
Information technology can also be usefull for women since if they have any health related issue,they can google it,or get to know more about it.Same goes for women who are pregnant.they could go online and get to the signs,what they mean?e.t.c.
As women one can also post ones views on issues(blogs) or join sites like youtube, linkedin.e.tc.
