How do women engage in open data movements cross the Mekong countries?

ODT want to understand how women are engaging in open data movements across Thailand. We are particularly interested in understanding why and how women participate and what some of the barriers to their participation are. Most importantly we want to gain insight into how open data – and more broadly, access to information – is supporting women’s agendas across Thailand.

Your contributions to this study are welcome. So if you are a women working in open data please share your experiences in this online survey, in English or in Thai.
