"I had the opportunity to participate in WSIS 2003, an event that had no parallels. I facilitated participation of four grassroots women, many of whom had stepped out of their towns, villages for the first time, to participate in the Summit in Geneva. The grassroots women, even though they could not speak fluent English, made a mark among the delegates by raising some of the ground realities of reaching ICTs. This helped in inclusion of grassroots perspective in the WSIS deliberations."
