Digital Activism: Relevance to Socially Excluded Communities in India
•
1 like•512 views
This document discusses digital activism and its potential relevance to socially excluded communities in India. It notes that while digital tools can enable critique and mobilization against injustice, unequal access to technology and skills restricts their use. Specifically, traditional political activities remain dominated by high-income and educated groups. However, some data shows untapped potential among excluded groups with growing mobile access. The objectives are to examine how digital activism advances rights-based campaigns in India and whether it enables traditionally excluded communities to strengthen organizing and influence policy. The proposed methodology includes qualitative case studies of digital technology's role in dalit or women's movements, and quantitative analysis of digital advocacy organizations' reach among excluded groups.

Women and mobile bridging gender gap
Women face several barriers to digital inclusion including lack of awareness, affordability issues, low digital literacy, and infrastructure gaps. To address this, governments need gender disaggregated data to understand the digital gender divide. Policies should work to reduce costs, expand access to education and infrastructure, create safe online spaces for women, and involve women in solution development. Stakeholders need to collaborate on an action plan that trains women, addresses social and legal protections, and empowers women as creators and teachers of technology. Bridging the digital gender divide will help advance economic and social development goals.

Community informatics (CI) involves providing information and communication technologies (ICTs) and tools to communities to help them achieve their local development goals. CI is bottom-up and community-driven, empowering communities to own and control ICTs. It focuses on the needs of communities and implements technologies accordingly. CI draws on multiple disciplines and links researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Examples of CI include telecenters providing rural information services, a rural health center using teleconferencing, and a rural tourism program managed through a local ICT center.
Digital divide
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to unequal access to and use of digital technologies between different groups. It notes that divides exist between high and low-income countries, as well as between different demographic groups within countries along lines of gender, age, education level, and more. While digital technologies can help overcome exclusion, existing social inequalities are often deepened in the digital environment. Closing the digital divide requires awareness, strong policies supporting access and skills development, and international collaboration between public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
Closing the Divide- Sheila Dugan
Cities are leveraging technology to better connect with its constituents. However, cities are at risk of isolating key segments of its populations without closing the digital divide. We will explore the digital divide’s impact on civic technology and the role of cities in increasing access to high-speed Internet.

This document discusses women's rights and gender issues related to internet governance and technology use in Afghanistan. It notes that as access to the internet has increased for men in Afghanistan, the percentage of women with limited or no access has remained steady, exacerbating the digital gender divide. The document advocates for improving women's participation in decision making regarding internet policy and ensuring technologies and policies are developed with input from women's rights organizations to reflect women's needs and realities. It also discusses challenges like online violence against women and lack of legal protections, and proposes recommendations in areas like building women's technical skills, adopting stricter standards for online abuse on platforms, and educating law enforcement.

New Digital Divide Presentation
There are three main types of digital divides discussed in the document. First, the divide between those who have access to digital technology and those who do not due to socioeconomic barriers. Second, the divide between those who actively use technology, known as digital natives, and those who do not due to a lack of digital literacy skills. And third, the divide caused by policies that restrict access to technology through filtering and blocking in schools and libraries. Bridging these divides requires expanding access, increasing media literacy education, and reducing restrictions on technology use.

Digital divide in south africa
The document discusses issues around the digital divide in South Africa. It identifies several types of digital divides, including socio-economic divides between developed and developing countries/areas in infrastructure and access to technology. Other divides discussed are in access to internet content which is largely in English, universal access for those with disabilities, and a gender divide in developing countries where women have less access. The skills divide regarding the ability to use technology even when access is obtained is also mentioned. Potential ways to address these issues that are proposed include improving social services, early childhood development, skills training, providing information on the benefits of technology, and expanding infrastructure and lowering costs of access.
Ict as platform for change group 1
The document discusses several important events in Philippine history that were aided by information and communication technologies (ICT). It first covers the People Power Revolution in 1986, where Cardinal Sin used Radio Veritas to encourage Filipinos to help end the Marcos regime, leading to massive protests along EDSA involving 2 million people. Second, it discusses EDSA Dos in 2001, where growing protests against President Estrada fueled by text messaging brigades. Third, it outlines the Million People March in 2013 against misuse of funds, which was promoted through Facebook and an online petition gaining 400,000 participants. Finally, it notes how Google's People Finder database helped locate people after Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. Throughout,

Issues, challenges and opportunities presented by mobile
This document discusses closing the gender digital divide in mobile phone access and usage in Nigeria. It identifies some key issues including that only 52 million phones are in use in Nigeria, with women having much lower access due to factors like literacy levels, language barriers, culture, media literacy, and poverty. Challenges to closing the gap are outlined as poverty, culture, ownership barriers, low literacy, and lack of connectivity in rural areas. However, opportunities exist through text message help lines, SMS campaigns on issues like violence against women, mobile banking, and information services for farmers. The document proposes a national helpline for gender violence, mobile access training, and strategic projects to disseminate information to women via

Social Media & Democracy
Ushahidi is a tool that allows citizens to share information and increase transparency in Afghanistan. It combines existing technologies like SMS and Google Maps to enable citizens to report on events. The success of such a platform depends on societal factors like education levels and infrastructure, as well as design decisions around marketing, policies, and contingency planning for the local context in Afghanistan.
Digital divide
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to unequal access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) between individuals, households, businesses and nations. The digital divide exists due to differences in access to the internet, skills to use digital technologies, and ability to afford ICT services. Lower income households are much less likely to have internet access compared to higher income households. Reducing the digital divide requires improving access to affordable broadband, increasing digital literacy, and ensuring online content is relevant and accessible to underserved groups.

Shut it down or shape it up? The state of Vietnamese digital media in 2021
The document discusses the state of digital media in Vietnam in 2021. It notes tensions between the Vietnamese government and Facebook as the government seeks to regulate content on platforms. Digital media investment has grown significantly in recent years, but Vietnam ranks low on press freedom indices. Popular social media platforms in Vietnam include Facebook, YouTube, and Zalo, but government restrictions on political commentary are increasing. The document debates whether the government's approach to social media should be to shut platforms down or shape the content allowed on them.
The New Digital Divide
There are three main types of digital divides discussed in the document. First, the divide between those who have access to digital technology and those who do not. Second, the divide between those who use technology regularly and those who do not, known as the "new digital divide". And third, a divide in levels of digital literacy and participation, even among those who have access. Barriers to closing these divides include socioeconomic factors, lack of awareness or relevance of technology, and fears related to privacy and security. Reducing these divides requires expanding access to technology, increasing media literacy education, and addressing concerns of digital immigrants and "conscientious objectors".

Building “Africanised” New Media Training into Journalism Education
This document discusses the need to build "Africanised" new media training into journalism education in Africa. It notes that while there are good resources on online journalism, they have unexamined Western assumptions that may not apply to the African context where journalists have poor digital skills and limited infrastructure. Mobile phone and internet penetration in Africa is growing but still limited, especially in rural areas. The document advocates for journalism training that focuses on basic digital skills, online research tools, and innovative ways to interact with wider domestic audiences using mobile technologies. It also discusses challenges like cultural and skill barriers to citizen journalism in Africa.
ICT For advocacy and Developmental Communication
This document discusses advocacy and how information and communication technologies (ICT) can be used as tools for advocacy. It defines advocacy as actions that support or argue for a cause and outlines several examples of advocacy work, including organizing, educating, researching, informing, encouraging, training, lobbying, and taking actions. It then discusses developing an advocacy strategy, outlining nine questions to consider, such as identifying goals, stakeholders, and effective communication channels. Finally, it discusses different ICT tools that can be used for advocacy, including social media, blogs, RSS feeds, instant messaging, and text messaging.

3. Research contexts: priorities, training and impact – Dorothea Kleine UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti
Dorothea Kleine discussed the importance of understanding the contexts in which children use technologies. Drawing on her recent report, co-authored with David Hollow and Sammia Poveda, Children, ICT and development (2014), Kleine first questioned normative assumptions in the global North, in terms of their often-assumed relevance to the global South, and then offered recommendations for a global research framework. She particularly cautioned against the normative assumptions evident in many established, large-scale surveys (e.g., construction around childhood/adulthood, gender roles, heteronormativity and the nuclear family). She additionally observed that ‘reported behaviour is not the same as behaviour’, and what surveys are bound to record is simply recorded behaviour. She recommended triangulating research methods.
Kleine urged participants to shift from thinking of children as objects of inquiry to co-creators of meaning, and therefore to develop participatory models that involve children and young people at each stage. She also emphasised the importance of involving locals in the research process to get a better sense of local context, a higher sense of ownership and improved chance of project viability and sustainability after the instigators have left. She outlined a research framework, the ‘choice framework’ that considers structural factors (e.g., norms on the use of space or use of time) as well as issues of agency and individual resources, including social resources, psychological resources, cultural resources, information and time. Kleine’s discussion of research methods consistently tied advocacy and intervention goals to the framing and implementation of the research, prioritising children’s voices, envisioning solutions, addressing policy needs throughout the process, treating research as part of a meaningful participatory approach and not as an end in itself. Further, she advocated close links between survey research, participatory action research and policy research and advisory work.Digital Activism
This document contains 20 photos from Flickr shared under Creative Commons licenses, along with 10 citations for works about how social media and clicktivism are changing political campaigns and activism. The photos and citations discuss how charities and activists are using social media for fundraising and spreading awareness of issues, and whether clicktivism qualifies as real activism or just feels like activism without substantial impact.
Social Media Activism Presentation
Tomeeka Farrington presented on using social media activism to achieve goals. She discussed how organizations like the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service use social media strategies like developing compelling content, articulating a clear vision or "dream", focusing messaging, and spreading influence across sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Students were challenged to develop their own social media activism campaigns to help others, following King's model of service and his question "What are you doing for others?". Additional resources on the MLK Day of Service were provided.
Social Media Activism
Social Media Activism (SMA) is the use of web-based platforms, applications and technologies to bring about political or social change and has the power to disseminate information rapidly and globally. It has played a central role in recent worldwide movements for change.
We discuss current trends and limitations, the main players and their changing market share, and innovations in the on-line activism arena.
Traditional players like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are now being challenged by new tools and activist specific spaces.
Security concerns have led to the creation of tools such as Pidder, Crabgrass and OTR.
SMA is not always a force for good. Users must be responsible, evaluate the veracity of information and understand the potential to propagate crime.
Ultimately, SMA can only be a part of the movement for change - it still needs brave people on the streets to challenge the status quo.
What is Digital Activism?
The document discusses digital activism, which is defined as using digital technology, such as social networks, blogs, email, video and SMS, to achieve political or social change. It provides examples of tools for digital activism and how they can be used, such as using social networks to interact with supporters, blogs to share longer analysis, and video to get attention through emotion. The combination of a goal for change and use of digital technology is what constitutes digital activism.

Digital Activism: Relevance to Socially Excluded Communities in India
- 1. Digital Activism: Relevance to Socially Excluded Communities in India
- 2. Context • Digital activism - “all political and social forms of campaign that use digital network infrastructure” - mobile, internet and offline devices • Characterised by speed, reliability, scale and low cost • 1998 - first digitally enabled political mobilization against 29 yr regime of Omar Bongo in Gabon - Led by exiled Gabonese scholar Dr. Daniel Mengara • Arab Spring of 2011 - rooted in Kefaya movement of 2004 - created a generation of bloggers in Egypt giving voice to shared injustice, democracy, human rights • Occupy movement - the India Against Corruption campaign - Political relevance: the Obama presidential campaign / BJP / SP • 52m active internet users in India (2009) - fastest growth in small towns - India MDG target of 100 pc internet access across villages by 2020 •
- 3. Problem Statement • Digital tools for instigating critique, opposition and revolution - emails, text msg, social networks, videos used to mobilize opinion and action against perceived injustice • Yet social and economic factors restrict access to digital infrastructure - unequal access, unequal skills and censorship • Internet and American Life Project of the Pew Research Center (2007): “Whether they take place on the Internet or off, traditional political activities remain the domain of those with high levels of income and education.” • Gaurav Mishra (June 2009) - Orkut has 1000 Brahmin groups in stark contrast to 200 for and by members of the Dalit caste - both are almost completely separate and divided
- 4. • Other sources point to untapped potential of digital media among traditionally excluded communities • Center for American Progress (2010): 85 per cent of Latinos and African Americans owning mobile phones; 25 pc of Twitter users belong to the Africa American community • Brian Solis (2009): Women form 57% of the membership across Facebook and Twitter - spend 16.3 per cent of their online time on social networking as opposed to men who spend 11.7 pc • Katharine Bodrock (2010): ‘leap-frogging’ - poorer countries or communities can skip over stages in technology adoption and implement newer technologies that are light- weight, distributed, and ecologically sustainable – the challenge and opportunity for the ‘new new social movements’ of our time. •
- 5. Objectives • to examine how digital activism is advancing strategies for rights based campaigning and advocacy in India • to understand whether digital technology is enabling traditionally excluded communities to strengthen their organising capacities and exert greater influence on public policy and resources
- 6. Proposed Methodology / Scope • Lit Review - Challenge of available studies / reports in the Indian context - studies and analysis available in other parts of the world and relate the same to Indian context - Possible focus on comparative experience of BRICS / MICs in relation to similar indicators of growth, access and inequality • Qualitative Method - Case study - Study patterns of mobilization and advocacy in context of a dalit / women's movement in India and relevance of digital technologies in the same - AND/ OR - • Quantitative Method - Listing of digital advocacy organisations in India - Stratified sampling of members across one or more organisation - Profile of members, issues raised and public impact - relevance to socially excluded communities
