Facebook-parent Meta and BRAC recently hosted an event titled "Empowering Women and Youth in Digital Spaces" to celebrate International Women's Day and share the results of their partnership on a digital awareness program launched last year.

Facebook-parent Meta has been working with partners in Bangladesh to support programs to empower women through economic and digital awareness.

So far, more than half a million BRAC program participants have learned about online safety, privacy tools and how to tackle misinformation; around 75% of the trainees are women. 

Moreover, around 10 million youth and women became acquainted with the safe and effective use of social media through a social media campaign.

The impact measurement showed that 98% of participants say they now know how to maintain a positive digital footprint compared to 62% before they started the training program.
