India: Empowering the young girls of fishermen community in citizen media

Categories: India, Indigenous Communities, Blogs, Social Networking

Young (18 -25 years) out of schools girls of fishermen community who live along the coasts of Puducherry have neither access of social media nor knowledge of it. Recently the Thane cyclone trashed the fishermen habitations and the most vulnerable are the young girls. So, it is decided to mobilize 50 young girls from 10 fishermen villages near Puducherry. They will be trained in basic computer operations.
