“Learn More, be More”: Banglalink and Facebook join forces to bring digital empowerment to women with less access to digital facilities

Banglalink, one of the leading digital communications service providers in Bangladesh, has joined forces with Facebook to train women with less access to digital facilities on how to participate in the digital world in a safe and responsible way.

The campaign, “Learn More, be More”, has been officially launched by Banglalink recently. Under this campaign, women from selected communities will receive training on how they can use Facebook for free. In addition to receiving the training, they will participate in educational workshops on health, safety, child education and saving money. Scheduled to be run till the end of December, the program will be held in 180 garment factories in Gazipur, Savar and Narayanganj areas.  More than 16,000 women will benefit from this initiative.

“We believe that one of the most effective ways of eradicating digital divide from the society is to ensure women’s participation in the digital movement. The campaign will encourage participants to explore the world of internet and embrace the digital mode of life. We are grateful to Facebook for coming forward and being a partner in this great initiative,” said Upanga Dutta, Chief Commercial Officer, Banglalink.

As a part of Banglalink’s Digital Literacy Program, earlier it launched similar campaigns with Facebook and GSMA (The global mobile industry association), which witnessed significant outcomes in eradicating digital divide. In addition to providing customers with quality digital services, Banglalink will keep playing a pioneering role in digitalizing Bangladesh by building an inclusive digital infrastructure in the country.
