Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is so wide that anything we to is related to it. Even though ICT is most important part nowadays people are working less in it. The worst part comes when we talk about women in Information and Communication technology. There's is a limited number of working sectors in ICT. Women are another half of a nation. So they need to work in ICT with men. Then the nation can be a digitalized country.

There are two programs under #missingdaughter.
