Remarks of Magaly Pazzelo of IGF Dynamic Coaliton on Gender and Internet Governance (IGF-Rio 2007)

“The organizations and individuals who convened this dynamic coalition here to the IGF have contributed to the discussions of the last few days by bringing the dimension of womens rights and gender perspectives included in the key debates around Internet Governance issues, such as access, content regulation, privacy, freedom of expression, among others. We are here to ensure that we can be equal partners in shaping the policies that will make a difference in the lives of millions of women around the world. Towards this end, the Dynamic Coalition on Gender and Internet Governance will work to increase womens participation and visibility at the IGF, to
support capacity-building on gender advocates and to promote more effective linkages between local, regional, and global initiatives relating to gender and Internet Governance issues. In moving forward towards IGF 2008 in Delhi, we call on all stakeholders to ensure that there will be more participation by women, who can make a substantive contribution to IGFs agenda. We trust that organizers will fully support
this effort by ensuring a better gender balance among speakers, especially in the main sessions, on the next IGF. And we will collaborate with the IGF secretariat to identify experts to the various themes on the forum. Thank you.
