As the world journeys into a new era of digitisation, digitised services, and the digital public infrastructure (DPI) approach— digital IDs appear to be a cornerstone for how society interacts with its physical surroundings. To deepen this understanding, strengthening evidence around the interaction of specific population groups has become critical, especially those historically marginalised.
To understand its nuances, a research team from Aapti Institute undertook a deep exploration to identify how women in developing countries interact with their physical and digital surroundings, the modalities through which these interactions occur, and the experiences of these interactions. These perspectives have been collected to provide developers and deployers with potential pathways to strengthen gender-inclusive design of digital ID systems.
