Digital inclusion must start at an early age
We believe that empowering young girls with digital safety skills changes whole communities. Teenagers face unique challenges when they first start using online spaces. Young girls are often the most vulnerable to online harassment, scams, and privacy violations. This workshop set out to build their confidence. We wanted to give them the tools to navigate the internet safely and productively.
In June 2024, Digital Kala collaborated with the Rotaract Club of Balkumari. Together we organized a special session titled "Nurturing for Empowerment". The event took place at Shramik Shanti Secondary School. A total of 57 female students from Grade 6 to Grade 8 took part. The attendees were young teenagers aged 13 to 16 years old.
A partnership focused entirely on young girls
The Rotaract Club of Balkumari partnered with us to make this session possible. The administration of Shramik Shanti Secondary School hosted the event and opened its doors to the students. The session was led by Digital Kala team members Dipa Rai and Aastha Acharya. They broke down complex digital topics into easy lessons. Our team created a safe and open space for the students. The girls shared their own digital experiences and asked important questions about internet safety.
