The research examines contrasts between the various contexts the @FreeDemIndia programme works in - and the hidden tensions inspired by #digitalmedia and #internetacess within indigenous communities. @jsjc_jgu @JindalGlobalUNI

Ideosync's N.Ramakrishnan will be at #IAMCR2024 in Christchurch later this week to present research from our @FreeDemIndia intervention with #Soliga tribal communities in Karnataka. Co-authored with @VenuArora1, the paper presents new insights on #DMIL & #culturalpreservation
We're so delighted that the FREE/DEM initiative and our Fellows have been featured in @unwomenindia's new book #हम, featuring women and girls who are trailblazers in their fields! What an honour for us to be in the company of such great women! #Hum #WomenWhoLead @IdeosyncMedia
Congratulations to the #FREEDEMSoliga volunteers and team!
Welcome to the initiative, and we hope it will help you all build #DMIL skills that will help your community engage with #onlineresources and #digitaltools safely, equitably and responsibly!
The @FreeDemIndia initiative is expanding!
We just completed the 1st training in our new year-long #FREEDEMSoliga initiative, which addresses #Soliga tribal communities in the BR Hills of #Karnataka with #DMIL skills & knowledge! #DigitalSkills #MIL @VenuArora1 @waccglobal

The latest #ASER report underlines the stark divide in #digitalaccess between rural & urban populations - as well as the vital need for #DMIL training for #women & #girls in #marginalised communities. That’s what our @FreeDemIndia initiative has been doing for the last 8 years!

COMING UP @ 7:30 PM | Changing India | The mobile phone may be omnipresent by now, and with it the internet, but many women from marginalised communities still lack access to the information highway!
One organisation is trying to bridge this digital divide, teaching women in Delhi the nitty grities of creating their own podcasts. Watch this story on CNBC-TV18

Delighted that @the_hindu covered our @FreeDemIndia initiative, which teaches #DMIL skills to women & girls in slum areas in peri-urban Delhi. Hugely important to address the #digitaldivide, and especially the #gender dimensions of that divide.

Small error, though: The article calls FREE/DEM an NGO. @FreeDemIndia is actually an initiative of @IdeosyncMedia, which works on issues of #mediaccess, #mediademocratisation & #FoE. @vaishnaroy @frontline_india
Here are a few reflections from our Free/Dem trainees on harmful gender stereotypes that affect young girls mobility, aspirations, and access to technology and information.

The Free/Dem Community Podcasts are produced under Ideosync’s FREE/DEM initiative, which provides marginalized communities - especially women and migrants - a platform to amplify their narratives and stories using audio and video.
