Safer-I
Safer-I Nepal is a feminist-led campaign devoted to crafting a safer, inclusive, ethical and accessible digital space for everyone. The campaign noticed an overwhelming trend of adult women relying on their spouses or their children to practice simple internet activities like using social media or even performing simple mobile transactions. Not only does this increase the dependence on their family, but also increases individual privacy concerns. In response, Safer-I launched its Tech for Moms program - a multi-day digital literacy workshop designed for adult women and mothers who require the use or can benefit from the use of technology and digital devices.
With the Giving Joy grant, Safer-I engaged 30 mothers in a workshop to inform the basics of internet usage, digital privacy, and digital consent, along with a hands-on workshop on financial digital literacy platforms. The Tech for Moms program provides adult women with the knowledge and confidence to participate in digital spaces on their own, and gives women the self-dependence to use tech platforms freely and confidently. The grant will produce 30 digitally literate mothers and approximately 90 families in their society.
