“Thank you for creating such a practical and thoughtful bootcamp. It has given me useful tools and a new perspective that I can apply in my work, and I feel more confident supporting people to engage with digital technologies safely and inclusively."
- 2026 Bootcamp participant, translated from French
While digital transformation creates new opportunities, its benefits are not shared equally. For many forcibly displaced and stateless women and girls, the challenge extends beyond access to a mobile phone or internet connection. It is also about whether they can safely, confidently, and meaningfully engage with digital technologies to access services and information, exercise their rights, participate in decision-making, and pursue opportunities that improve their lives.
During this course you will:
- Build the knowledge and skills needed to help close the gender digital divide in your communities - from keeping women and girls safe online, to using digital tools for protection and accountability, to developing digital livelihoods that support women's economic empowerment, and
- Gain practical skills in innovation methodologies, human-centred design, project management, and partnership-building to turn creative ideas into action.
This course was designed by UNHCR and Here I Am Studio.
