IATP Reaches out to Eurasian Women, Helping them Succeed in Non-Traditional Roles
Women across Eurasia have relied on IATP for access to resources that, for cultural, economic, or geographic reasons, are largely unavailable to them. With training in computer skills, an online forum to exchange their views, web hosting to publicize their ideas, and a safe place to meet and plan joint action, IATP empowers women with tools that strengthen their efforts to achieve gender equality in their societies.

Media Outlets throughout Eurasia Rely on IATP for Free Access to Sources and Audiences
As the countries of the Former Soviet Union struggle to emerge from a legacy of rigorous controls over information, IATP has been providing the access to unbiased sources that is critical to the development of a sustainable, independent press. Furthermore, IATP’s free IT training and web hosting services have helped these journalists to tap into far wider audiences, and the safe and neutral space of IATP centers and forums permit them to share ideas and information freely. IATP trains over 300 journalists each year, and is used nearly 1,000 media professionals.
