Digital Accessibility and Inclusion

In an increasingly digital world, Prayatna Nepal champions the full participation of women and girls with disabilities by ensuring their access to and proficiency in digital technologies. We believe that digital inclusion is not just about technology, but about equitable access to information, communication, education, and opportunities.

Key Strategies and Focus Areas:

• Promoting Digital Accessibility: We advocate for and work towards making digital platforms, content, and devices accessible to visually impaired women and girls. This includes promoting the use of screen readers, accessible websites, and assistive technologies that remove barriers to digital interaction.
• Enhancing Digital Literacy and Skills: We provide training and capacity-building programs to equip visually impaired women and girls with the necessary digital literacy skills. This empowers them to effectively use computers, smartphones, and various software applications for communication, learning, and accessing information.
• Access to Modern Technology: We facilitate access to relevant modern technologies that can enhance their independence, education, and participation in society. This involves identifying and advocating for the provision of accessible devices and tools.
• Bridging the Digital Divide: Our efforts aim to bridge the digital divide that often marginalizes persons with disabilities. By improving digital access and skills, we enable visually impaired women and girls to participate more fully in education, employment, social life, and civic engagement.
• Advocacy for Inclusive Policies: We engage with technology developers, service providers, and policymakers to advocate for the development and implementation of digital accessibility standards and inclusive technology policies. This ensures that future digital advancements are designed with accessibility in mind from the outset.

Through our work in digital accessibility and inclusion, we strive to unlock new opportunities for visually impaired women and girls, fostering their independence and participation in the digital age.
