Yesterday the world celebrated International Women's Day, a day traditionally set aside for observing the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The question therefore becomes; what does the future hold for women in ICT in Africa? Today many ICT institutions are leading by example, with many countries today either having their ministries of ICT or their ICT regulatory authorities headed by women. This year’s theme for the International Women's Day, Choose to Challenge, points to the reality of what needs to be prioritised today. We look forward to a successful International Women's Day where all persons, men and women, join together to celebrate women and provoke the creation of an equitable environment that guarantees the success of our continent.
