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.
Todo Bandishen (break free from the shackles) was a collective campaign against early and forced marriage by young women participants from Level 2 of FAT’s Young Women’s Leadership Program (YWLP). This campaign led by the participants started in 2015. In the photo stories these young women from underserved low-income urban communities from Delhi and Bihar shared stories of their communities. These stories were used to spread awareness about the need to stop early and forced marriage in their communities.
By choosing topics close to their heart, using their keen observation and a sensitive understanding of the world around them, these young women uncovered a range of inequalities present in our society with these photostories. The stories show how very deeply the basic problems of sanitation, education, health, livelihood, discrimination, violence and choice still plague our society.
