Bridging the Digital Divide: Empowering Young Women Through WiDES
In Nigeria, only 26% of women have access to the internet compared to 47% of men.
ImpactHER survey across Africa revealed that 60% of women have never received any form of digital skills training, leaving them unable to leverage technology for learning or income generation.
In rural and low-income communities, this gap widens dramatically. Behind these numbers are millions of young women who remain excluded from the digital world not because they lack curiosity or ambition, but because access, opportunity, and safety are still privileges, not rights.
Through interactive workshops, storytelling circles, and mentorship sessions, beneficiaries will learn practical digital skills while building confidence to explore online opportunities responsibly.
Beyond training, WiDES fosters community, a safe, supportive network where young women can share experiences, collaborate on projects, and advocate for others.
