The history of woman is the history of the continued and universal oppression of one sex by the other. The emancipation of woman is her restoration to equal rights and privileges with man.

Women’s Information Technologies Transfer (WITT) mission is to promote Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) among women movements as a strategic tool for social transformation, using gender as a starting point. WITT envisions Europe as a place of real democracy in power where genders will be completely equal, and women will be recognized as the driving force of the continent with their inputs to the society highlighted.

- to create strategic partnerships with other organizations in the area of ICT, aiming at advocacy for social transformation;
- to educate the broader public on the impact of the ICT strategies and effective processes of its implementation in the economical, social and political situation of women’s lives in Europe.
