SAHAYOG, a non-profit voluntary organization, was started with the core belief that people who are socially marginalized have the right to participate in the decisions that impact their lives.

Digital Divide & Promoting Access

SAHAYOG India > Digital Divide & Promoting Access

While working in the field with youth, adolescent girls and even adult men and women and especially after the COVID pandemic, we have been witnessing the power and impact of the digital in influencing and shaping the world view of different members in a community.

COVID brought to light the disparity in access and use of the digital space which was highly gendered and class based in nature. SAHAYOG works with young men and boys to create ‘responsible digital users’, promote access to technology for women and girls, and uphold the immense potential of the digital to drive change.
