VOF Week 1(Miracle of web 2.0



Web 2.0 has become a community contributory thing as every member of the community receives information and give feedback and opinion with just a click. Personally, through web 2.0, i am no longer ignorant as i am exposed to happenings and people around the world.What they are going through and how i can be of help in my own little way towards ameliorating their situation.
I am exited because i have made several friends across the globe that i could not have thought possible for me,thus i can belong to several communities that are making changes happen in the world.Another exiting thing about web 2.0 is the limitless opportunity it offers women in the struggle for gender equality, through this, women would be able to raise their voices together on issues that concerns them at the same time and the intensity of the collective voices will effectively penetrate the ears of the deaf
Web 2.0 enables women have access to information. In my society information is power. When information about situations of women is shared on the web, helps would be offered by women to other women.Therefore through this opportunity, improving the standard of living of women through out the world is limitless. Thus more women are able to live dignified and decent lives.
As women continue to mount pressure on governments of countries through out the world, gender issues will no more be on the background. Laws and policies would be enacted in those countries to make life better for women. The world who had turned blind eyes to the needs and right of women will not be able to do so again as women will now be speaking with one voice and in unity.Women would have come to the awareness of the need for unity and that united we stand divided we fall.
Web 2.0 have empowered me in so many ways. I have been exposed to issues and these have enabled me to raise my voice on issues of gender equality and violence against women and girls in my communities, among my peers in my place of work and in my society at large.Even in the web communities i have been able to air my opinions on issues concerning women and these have widen my horizon
Through web 2.0, i have had access to series of researches and write ups on diverse topics that are helping me in my own researches. This knowledge i am gathering have also helped me to make meaningful contributions towards finding solutions to women problems. An example of this is the issue of ignorance among women even the educated ones of the potentials they are endowed with which have robbed them of the knowledge of how to use their natural potentials to uplift themselves and other women around them
The knowledge i gathered from web 2.0 have helped me to know that i am not in any way inferior to a man. It has helped me in my profession as a guidance counselor to put in my best and i am able to raise my head and hold my own even in the face of stiff competition.these knowledge i have not been keeping to myself but also sharing with my daughters,friends,female colleagues and women i come in contact with on a daily basis
Finally,a major area of empowerment i seem to enjoy most is improvement in ICT since i came in contact with web 2.0. It is more than i could think possible some years back.
