APC: Of empty purses and tattered pockets: Stitching funding back into gender and ICT

Thandiwe Mathenjwa, a 43 year-old single mother of 11 from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, opened up a discussion on financing for ICT at the UN in this year's session of the Commission on the Status of Women. She's part of a self-help, income generating group called Fancy Stitch, a supplier of artistic greeting cards, picture frames and clothing. Her voice, image, work and experience - her digital story - kept the policy and finance debate away from abstraction and rooted in women's realities.
