Background

With the Covid 19 pandemic, online learning and digitalization have accelerated. In this process, the main motivation of this project has been to seek answers to the following gaps: • Adult education was interrupted during pandemic process • The insufficient digital skills of women, particularly those in underprivileged circumstances, can have an impact on children, as parents are also involved in this process. • The pandemic accelerated digitalization and internet use, providing educational opportunities but also serious threats. It's important to raise women's awareness of these digital threats and protect themselves and their children. • With digitalization, it was critical to be able to read the increasing information correctly and critically • Women could use digitalization for career and financial freedom. Women are being put at the center of a project because they are assumed to be adversely affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on work and employment. Integrating women into the digital world can have a positive effect on their children. Disadvantaged women are the focus of the project, as they cannot benefit from digitalization opportunities.
