Empowering Women Through Digital Literacy
On the occasion of International Girls in ICT Day and World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (ITU Day) 2025, Women in Information Technology (WIIT), in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Yala and Misa Pucha of Ward No. 28, Harisiddhi, organized a Digital Literacy Training on May 16, 2025 at the Ward Office Meeting Hall, Harisiddhi from 1 PM to 6 PM.
The event aimed to bridge the digital gender gap by equipping approximately 40 women with essential ICT skills. Participants included members of Misa Pucha, the Ward No. 28 Women Representative.
The training featured three key sessions:
- Smart Use of Smartphones: Managing apps, using calendars, safe social media practices, and accessing online learning.
- Digital Payments & Government Services: Hands-on guidance on mobile wallets (eSewa, Khalti, FonePay), online bill payments, and secure financial transactions.
- Cybersecurity Awareness: Educating participants about scams, strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and safe internet practices.
Interactive discussions, group activities, and inspiring talks by trainers and local leaders encouraged digital confidence and inclusion. The event concluded with reflections from participants, appreciation remarks by local authorities, and a group photo, marking a successful step toward digital empowerment for women in the community.
