Digital Inclusion for Migrant Women

To address the deep-rooted gender digital divide and promote digital inclusion among migrant women, Sampark launched the“DIGIT-ALL FOR HER- Digital Inclusion for Migrant Women” campaign. 

Three core expectations drove the campaign:

1. Improved access to digital devices among migrant women.
   
   
2. Provision of digital literacy training.
   
   
3. Awareness building on cybersecurity threats.

With generous support from partners and donors, two impactful events were organised: 

1. Celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025: This event brought together 250 migrant women from various labour colonies and offered a safe, inclusive space to engage in learning.
   Participants received refreshments and attended awareness sessions on critical cybersecurity threats such as OTP-based online scams and phishing.
   Additionally, the women were educated about the importance of registering with the Labour Welfare Board to strengthen their access to social security schemes, including Ayushman Bharat. 
2. Free eye-test camp, in the labour colonies: This outreach brought essential health services directly to the doorstep of 100 migrant women. The camp provided screenings, and 27 women with vision impairments were given free spectacles, significantly improving their quality of life and productivity.

Impact created

Enhanced Digital Awareness: Over 250 migrant women learned to identify and respond to digital threats, making them more confident and secure in using mobile phones and digital platforms. We fostered foundational digital understanding in the migrant women, setting the stage for continued digital learning and engagement in online services, financial tools, and government portals.

Improved Access to Social Security: Women began their journey towards improved social security through our awareness session on the importance of registering with the government benefits and entitlements.

Health Access for Marginalised Communities: Through the eye-test camp held in labour colonies, more than 100 migrant women received free vision screenings, with 27 spectacles provided to those diagnosed with vision issues, improving their quality of life and ability to work.

Community Engagement Strengthened: The events created a safe, inclusive space where women felt heard, supported, and motivated to continue their learning journey, fostering deeper trust between Sampark and the migrant communities it serves.

Thank you!

We are grateful for the continued support of our donors in making this impact possible. The DIGIT-ALL FOR HER campaign is a step forward in Sampark’s long-term commitment to women’s empowerment, ensuring that digital and health inclusion go hand-in-hand in promoting dignity, independence, and equal opportunity.
