This proposal aims to promote digital literacy and online safety for adolescent girls through a comprehensive program that equips them with essential digital skills and knowledge to navigate the online world safely and confidently. The initiative focuses on enhancing digital competency, increasing awareness of online risks, and fostering a supportive environment for digital learning. By empowering adolescent girls with these skills, we aim to bridge the digital divide and protect them from online threats, ultimately preparing them for future opportunities in an increasingly digital world.
Background and Rationale:
Digital literacy is crucial for success in today’s technology-driven world, yet adolescent girls often face significant barriers to acquiring these skills. Limited access to digital resources, lack of digital education, and concerns about online safety restrict their participation in the digital sphere. Girls are also more vulnerable to online risks, including cyberbullying, exploitation, and misinformation. Promoting digital literacy and online safety is essential to ensuring girls’ active, confident, and secure engagement in the digital world.
