dc.description.abstractThis paper explores ICT influence in the lives of marginalized women migrant workers in Thailand in the context of the repressive military regime of Burma (Myanmar). The enabling environment of ICTs in the border created significant differences in women’s survival, as freedom of information, communication and mobility had been largely repressed inside their own country. This paper argues for increased opportunities for women to access and use ICTs. While use of information and communication technology allows for processes of information and communication that were previously impossible for women to attain, many are still excluded.en
