Various organizations and people's groups including lesbian groups have established a number of web sites. Through the new information technology, organizations are now able to network with one another beyond national boundaries and share information and resources with less expense. Increasingly, local groups have become part of regional and international networks, using various strategies in networking, thereby strengthening their capacity for their work. Nevertheless, while new information technology has given womyn's groups the opportunity to share information and interact on a wider scale, there is still a lack of networking to reach alternative sources of information among and about sexual minority womyn's groups in Asia. In order to strengthen the networking among sexual minority womyn's groups working for human rights, there is a need to have a space so that we can share each one's information, get the current news on the issue, and have on-line meeting to discuss the work or activity we intend to collaborate with each other.
Information is at the heart of human development and people's empowerment.
Information needs, however, to be processed and structured before it can become knowledge. Knowledge is power and the more knowledge is shared, the more growth is generated. It provides a reference point for comprehensive information about what is happening on the lesbian issue in Asia region, such as news briefing, activity news, event, urgent appeal, useful documents, etc. BM may meet annually to provide policy and operational guidance, to supervise implementing method, to design modules and to discuss icWOW's structural and secretariat problems. There are fifteen founding members, who have given icWOW their warmest sisterhood and solidarity with seed fund for the hosting fee of the website and operation expenses at the beginning of its establishment.
