Womaniya - 2

Hello friends,
My blog post is about to final report on Womaniya event. ;)
 

Womaniya Outline:
The growing access of the web in the late 21th century, has allowed women to empower themselves by using various tools on the Internet. With the introduction of the World Wide Web, women have begun to use social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to start online activism. Through online activism, women are able to empower themselves by organizing campaigns and voicing their opinions for equality rights without feeling oppressed by members of society.

Womaniya has been the first ever WoMoz event for launching, introducing and creating awareness about the program within the Bhopal community as well as we will identify the challenges facing women in technology and ways to solve and increase the number of Women in technology and open source.

WoMoz – Women + Mozilla: - Mozilla is a global community of technologists, thinkers and builders working together to keep the Internet alive and accessible.
 

WoMoz is a community composed of members from different Open Source projects. We are mainly dedicated to improving women's visibility and involvement in Free/Open Source and Mozilla, and to increase the number of women contributors in technology.

The seminar aimed to provide technical knowledge for woman empowerment and the whole program would help in developing a better understanding regarding the tools and technology used nowadays.
