Empowering Women and Building Digital Resilience

Used well, media can build resilience, restore trust, and amplify underrepresented voices. Across Armenia and Ukraine, women and marginalized youth face not only digital inequality but also targeted disinformation and online abuse. This project creates safe, practical spaces for learning, storytelling, and cooperation—turning critical media literacy into community strength.

Objectives

• Strengthen critical media skills: teach fact-checking, ethical storytelling, and responsible digital participation.

• Advance gender-responsive safety: provide privacy-by-default tools, consent literacy, and trauma-aware facilitation.

• Support local change-makers: mentor women and youth to create verified, inclusive community media outputs.

• Build sustainable cooperation: connect partners across Armenia, Ukraine, and Germany for long-term learning exchange.

Expected Results & Impact

• 30 trained participants (70%+ women) from Armenia and Ukraine empowered with verified, transferable media and safety skills.

• At least 6 local micro-campaigns addressing disinformation and civic engagement.

• Open-licensed toolkits and videos available for NGOs and schools.

• Sustainable mentor pool and alumni chapters ensuring long-term cooperation.

• Increased confidence, visibility, and resilience of women and marginalized youth in digital public life.
