Bridging The Digital Divide for girls in India
In India, ‘Gendered Digital Divide’ among adolescents has come out starkly, highlighting ways in which the harmful effects of COVID-19 are disproportionately experienced by Adolescent Girls. Centre for Catalyzing Change (C3), in association with Digital Empowerment Foundation (DEF), embarked on a primary survey to understand the yawning digital gap that India’s adolescent girls are faced with. C3 also partnered with Feminist Approach to Technology (FAT) to gain insights from girls who are digitally empowered to have a holistic view. This Policy Brief – Bridging the Digital Divide for Girls in India — attempts to bring together the findings of the survey and offer a roadmap for action.
