3. How will you promote your ICT project or advocacy in question number two (2)? What platform will you use? Explain why you will be using such platform.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) offers us the possibility to acquire information and to connect with other people at a speed and across distances unprecedented in history. For those without access to ICT, the knowledge and resources gap can grow exponentially. This gap, often referred to as a “digital divide,” is usually caused by poverty and lack of infrastructure. In the case of women, cultural expectations and prejudice can further exacerbate their lack of access to ICT.
WLP believes that when women and girls across the world are able to harness ICT’s potential, they improve not only their own lives but can also advance their communities through their increased levels of employment, participation in governance, and application of better information about health, safety, finance, education, childrearing, social progress, and their rights.
"ICT can enable disadvantaged individuals and communities to participate in the national and global policy decisions that can change their lives and empower them to take actions that can financially, socially, and politically benefit them."
WLP recognizes this opportunity, and uses ICT as a tool for social change and women’s empowerment. Our programs and publications increase women’s ICT skills and confidence so that they can organize, mobilize, and advocate for issues that matter to them.

This answer is actually on your second question, but I'll still paste it here. Good luck!
