Platform policy improvements
Through our concerted efforts, we have seen a measurable reduction in anti-Zomi content on major platforms and increased awareness among platform administrators about the specific challenges facing our community.
Many in the Zomi community, particularly elders and those with limited access to digital education, face challenges in safely navigating online spaces. This can lead to vulnerability to scams, privacy breaches, and difficulty identifying misinformation.
As digital platforms become increasingly important for education, community connection, and accessing services, ensuring that all community members have the skills to use these tools safely is essential.
The #CyberSafeZomi campaign focuses on building digital literacy and security skills throughout the Zomi community through accessible, culturally relevant education. Our strategy includes:
Conducting in-person and virtual workshops on essential digital skills, online safety, and recognizing misinformation, with content available in multiple Zomi dialects.
Creating accessible guides, videos, and infographics on topics like password security, privacy settings, identifying phishing attempts, and fact-checking information.
Training community tech ambassadors who can provide ongoing support and guidance to community members facing digital challenges.
Providing access to and training on digital security tools such as password managers, secure messaging apps, and VPNs where appropriate.

Reported increased confidence
Participants in our digital literacy programs have reported significantly increased confidence in navigating online spaces safely, identifying misinformation, and protecting their personal information. We've seen a measurable decrease in reported scams and account compromises among community members.
The Zomi people face challenges to their cultural identity in digital spaces, including misrepresentation, cultural appropriation, and the imposition of external labels that deny their right to self-identification. These digital threats compound historical challenges to Zomi cultural preservation.
As more cultural discourse moves online, ensuring an authentic Zomi voice and presence in digital spaces is essential for preserving our heritage and passing it on to future generations.
The #ProtectZomiIdentity campaign focuses on affirming and celebrating authentic Zomi cultural identity while countering misrepresentation and advocating for the right to self-identification. Our strategy includes:
Creating platforms and opportunities for Zomi individuals to share their authentic stories, cultural knowledge, and perspectives in digital spaces.
Developing a comprehensive digital repository of Zomi cultural knowledge, including language resources, oral histories, traditional arts, and cultural practices.
Challenging misrepresentations of Zomi history, culture, and identity with well-researched, factual information across digital platforms.
Fostering intergenerational dialogue and knowledge transmission through digital platforms that connect Zomi people across geographical boundaries.
