The group provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners and users in the field of women and information technology. It is an open organisation and reflects a broad spectrum of researchers and practioners from different backgrounds and various countries.

The main topic is how different areas of society are being transformed by computer technology, but with particular emphasis on changes in women's work and life and how these have come about. Such transformations include transition from women's traditional work to work based on modern technology; from communicating within personal communities to communicating within virtual communities; from traditional job gendering to new perspectives on 'who does what'.
