One of the main objectives of the Tajikistan School Connectivity Project is to empower girls. In ten Internet Learning Centers located in several different regions of Tajikistan, girls from the 8-11th classes were invited to take digital photos of women and women's activities in their communities. For many girls, this was their first time using a digital camera, downloading the photos, and sending them via email.
Several of the photographs were displayed in "The Creative World of Women" exhibition organized by the Aga Khan Humanities Project and the Bactria Cultural Center in Dushanbe from March 6-25, 2004. We hope you agree that the results show the variety of roles women hold not only in Tajikistan's families, but also in its economy and culture.
