Frauen ans Netz (Introducing Women to the Internet) "Frauen ans Netz" was set up in a joint project run by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (Federal Ministry of Education and Research), Deutsche Telekom, the magazine "Brigitte", the Bundesanstalt für Arbeit (Federal Institute for Employment) and the organization "Frauen geben Technik neue Impulse e.V." (Women Give Technology New Inspiration) from 1998 to 2001. The aim was for women to pass on their Internet expertise to other women at an affordable cost to help increase the number of females using the Internet to at least 50% and thus integrate them into the so-called "web worlds". 7,700 Internet courses were organized in 190 locations throughout Germany, attracting 87,650 participants, all of whom received support for their first steps in the WWW in free introductory courses and advanced courses (with a fee payable) run by experienced female Internet trainers. So far the portal www.frauen-ans-netz.de has registered 11.2 million hits (status as of July 2001). Female participation on the Internet in Germany increased from 30.5% in July 1998 to 42% in January 2001.
