GBA of new programs was a plan put forward by the Canadian government to the Beijing Conference in 1995. This means that such people as women, those who have to live in poverty, and minorities have greater difficulties getting online, finding information and developing their resources. Some government departments appear to have been allocated extra funding for Internet related initiatives. Nothing extra has been given to Status of Women Canada. Our society is being divided into information haves and have-nots.
Women are a disproportionate part of the have-nots.
The Internet has given rise to a whole new range of trafficking in women, from pornography to sex tourism Online woman hating is widespread. Women and girls need to feel and be safe online, and feel safe at public Internet access sites. Sexist online advertising is widespread. This can appear on web sites and in email spam. Online search tools generally fail to give women a reflection of themselves, but rather a packaged, sexist list of web sites.
