Digital divide: Notes from a gender perspective

This work approaches the reality of the Digital Divide from a perspective of gender. With
that term it started to study in the half of the decade of the nineties everything related to the
special difficulties of access to the technologies of the information and the communication,
and specially to Internet, that certain groups or user’s profiles present, depending on the
age, the sex, the geographical area, the public and private policies, the disability, etc. It has
made that the problems or the lack of conditions that originate that division are evaluated
so much to endogenous as exogenous level. In the same way, it is justified the need of going
into the digital literacy, both general and sectorial literacy, as a way of advancing in the
overcoming of the called Second Digital Divide in the as near as possible future.
