The "seven musts": priority issues for gender equality in the World Summit on the Information Society.1 An intersectional approach. Gender mainstreaming in the WSIS WSIS World Summit on the Information Society WSIS Who Should I Start? (fantasy football) WSIS Waste Stream Information Sheet WSIS White Smoke Identification System (US Navy) process needs a nuanced approach that takes into account the diverse needs and perspectives of women emanating from differences in geo-political, historical, class-based, racial, ethnic and other contexts. For gender issues to be said to be effectively addressed in the WSIS process, strategies and solutions for achieving gender equality must strike at the root of unequal power relations--not just between men and women, but also more fundamentally between rich and poor, North and South, urban and rural, empowered and marginalised. 2 Building global consensus. The WSIS needs to place as its core mission addressing the fundamental socio-economic and political inequities globally, through a process of consensus-building. All negotiations and agreements made at the WSIS need to be based on a reaffirmation re·af·firm tr.v. re·af·firmed, re·af·firm·ing, re·af·firms To affirm or assert again. re to furthering commitments made at previous United Nations conferences and summits, in particular the World Conferences on Women in Nairobi and Beijing, as well as those focused on the rights of the child, on environment and development, human rights, population and social development. 3 People-centred development. Only development that embraces the principles of social justice and gender equality can be said to centrally address women's needs and redress fundamental economic and socio-cultural divides. Market-based development solutions often fail to address more deep-rooted and persistent subordination that the poorest and most marginalised women face. 4 Respect for diversity. The sharp focus on digital technologies in the WSIS process has excluded thus far the recognition of the importance of traditional and indigenous forms of media and communications that more accurately reflect the communications needs and preferences of the diversity of cultural, linguistic, ethics and value systems in our societies. Respect for our vast diversity of needs to be reflected in the diversity of solutions and strategies, since the focus on one solution, i.e. the digital solution is antithetical an·ti·thet·i·cal also an·ti·thet·ic adj. 1. Of, relating to, or marked by antithesis. 2. Being in diametrical opposition. See Synonyms at opposite. to human opportunities and to the notion of democracy overall. 5 Peace and human development. The current framework and premise of the WSIS are bereft of peace and security questions and the role of the information society in building an environment that enhances the possibility of world peace and the protection and promotion of human rights and democracy. Peace is inextricably in·ex·tri·ca·ble adj. 1. a. So intricate or entangled as to make escape impossible: an inextricable maze; an inextricable web of deceit. b. linked to the goals of equality and development and of crucial importance to women and children, who suffer the most dire consequences of civil and military strife. There is a dire need to commit to harnessing the use of ICTs, including mainstream and alternative media, in the service of peace and in strong opposition to all wars. 6 Human rights framework. A human rights framework needs to be applied in the issues, analysis, strategies and solutions of the WSIS process. Women's human rights instruments, and crucial rights such as freedom of expression, the right to information and the right to communicate need to be reiterated in the final outcomes of the WSIS. Emerging concerns such, as "information security" on the Internet should not in any way infringe on people's privacy and their right to communicate freely, using ICTs.

7 Supporting local solutions. The current framework of infrastructure development of ICTS is heavily reliant on "creating stimulating regulatory environments and fiscal incentives" to encourage investments from multinational IT, media and entertainment corporations from the North in countries of the South. We need to encourage local, low-cost and Open Source solutions as well as South-South exchanges that prevent the growth of monopolies in the ICT (1) (Information and Communications Technology) An umbrella term for the information technology field.

There is also an urgent need to encourage local content producers, through public funding Public funding is money given from tax revenue or other governmental sources to an individual, organization, or entity.

Les "SEPT IMPERATIFS" Priorites pour l'egalite de genre lors du Sommet mondial Mondial can refer to:
1 Une approche interseotorlolle. L'integration de l'egallte de genre dans le processus du SMSI SMSI sommet mondial de la société de l'information SMSI Strong Metal-Support Interaction SMSI Simplified Message Service Interface requiert une approche nuanoee qui tienne compte des divers besoins et perspectives de femmes issues de differents horizons geopolitiques, historiques, de classe sociale, raciaux, ethniques, etc. Pour aborder de facon judicieuse la question de l'egalite de genre dans le processus du SMSI, les stretegies et solutions destinees a realiser l'equite en matiere de genre doivent attaquer par la racine les rapports desequilibres des forces--non pas seulement entre hommes et femmes--mais egalement et plus fondamentalement entre riches et pauvres, entre Nord et Sud, entre villes et Campagnes et entre populations emancipees et populations marginalisees. 2 Realiser un consensus planetaire. Le SMSI doit se fixer fixer, n the chemicals used in the final step of film processing that remove the unaffected silver halide particles from the developed film. fixer pour mission principale de resoudre les inegalites sooioecenomiques et politiques fondamentales qui existent ex·is·tent adj. 1.

Adj. 1. au niveau planetaire, a travers un processus de realisation de consensus. Toute negociation et tout accord appeles a intervenir lors du SMSI doivent etre bases sur la reaffirmation et le renforcement des engagements pris lors des precedents sommets et conferances des Nations unies, notamment lors des conferences mondiales des femmes de Nairobi et de Beijing, ainsi que lors des rencontres sur les droits des enfants, sur l'environnement et le developpement, sur les droits de l'homme, sur la population et sur le developpement social. 3 Un developpement base sur l'etre humain. Seul un developpement soucieux des principes de justice sociale et d'egalite de genre peut se prevaloir d'aborder prioritalrement les besoins des femmes et de r&tablir les d&sequilibres economiques et sooioculturels fondamentaux. Les solutions de developpement basees sur le marche ne parviennent souvent pas a resoudre le probleme persistant et plus profond de la subordination a laquelle sont soumis les plus demunis et plus particulierement les femmes marginalisees. 4 Le respect de la diversite. La priorite absolue accordee aux technologies numeriques dans le processus du SMSI a provoque une grave ignorance de l'importance des formes (language, music) Formes - An object-oriented language for music composition and synthesis, written in VLISP.

Le respect de la grande diversite de nos besoins doit etre refletee dans la diversite des solutions et strategies, car le fait de mettre l'accent sur une seule solution, a savoir la solution numerique, est contre l'ethique des opportunites humaines et de la notion de democratie en general. 5 La paix et le developpement humain. Le cadre et le contexte actuels SMSI ne comportent pas les questions de paix et de securite et ne definissent pas non plus le role de la societe de l'information dans la creation d'un environnement qui permette de realiser la paix dans le monde n. 1.

Un cadre de droits de l'homme doit etre applique dans l'analyse des problemes et dans les strategies et solutions a adopter tout au long du processus du SMSl. Les instruments de droits de l'homme adoptes pour les femmes et certains droits cruciaux, tels que la liberte d'expression, le droit Le Droit (established on March 27, 1913) is a Canadian daily newspaper, published in Ottawa, Canada and is operated by Gesca since 2000.
