Ada - "Le project vise à favoriser l'accès des femmes aux Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication. L'objectif de ce site est de fournir aux femmes qui envisagent de s'orienter dans les métiers des NTIC et à celles qui travaillent déjà dans ce domaine, des outils, des informations, des réflexions sur ces métiers et sur la place des femmes dans ce secteur. ADA wil de toegang van vrouwen tot de nieuwe informatie- en communicatietechnologieën stimuleren. Deze site werd gecreëerd om vrouwen die wegwijs willen raken in ICT, of vrouwen die al in deze sector werken de nodige tools, informatie en bedenkingen te verstrekken over deze jobs en de plaats van vrouwen in deze sector.“

www.feminist.com
FEMINIST.COM - "Because women and girls are steered away from the fields of math, science and technology, and have traditionally had difficulty trying to break into the "Old Boy's Network", it's no wonder that they may not feel comfortable or confident enough to participate in online networking. It is upon this principle that FEMINIST.COM was founded. Our primary goal is to help make networking for women -- both off and online -- easy to do. We hope that FEMINIST.COM will become a place where women can meet, exchange ideas, get information, build a business, become active, participate in government and empower themselves and the world around them -- a woman's cyber community if you will."

Feminist Activist Resources on the Net - This guide is particularly oriented toward connecting Feminists who are Activists to resources on the Internet which could be of use.

Mujeres en Red - “nació en agosto de 1997. Se trata de un puro experimento y mucha voluntariedad sobre las posibilidades de las nuevas tecnologías, la comunicación entre mujeres y los lazos de solidaridad. Mujeres en Red está coordinada por mí, Montserrat Boix, una periodista del Estado Español (a más señas catalana) cansada de enfrentarse con las cortapisas de los medios de comunicación “tradicionales” en busca de otros espacios de comunicación más amplios, sin censura, más común, más “de todas”. Inicié el proyecto con la espectativa de utilizar al máximo las posibilidades de internet como alternativa de comunicación... y ahí estamos.... en estos momentos somos unas tres mil mujeres, grupos de mujeres que a nivel individual o colectivo que compartirmos información y contacto de manera permanente a través del correo electrónico.”
