I've just recorded a new podcast called Grassroots Indian Women Speak Out.
It's a 10-minute interview with four women from rural India who were
invited to participate in the WSIS process by OneWorld South Asia. One of
them spoke during the government plenary this morning.

They discuss the importance of women and linguistic minorities in the WSIS
process, and advocate a grass-roots campaign in which rural women from
across the South would be invited to participate in WSIS. Special thanks to
Geeta Sharma of OneWorld for providing translation.... -ac
