Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions in educational systems; hence, educators have developed innovative ways to address this new reality. Around the world, many adult education programs try to reach women who could not complete their education because of poverty and sociocultural issues, such as patriarchal barriers. COVID-19 was especially challenging for such lifelong learning programs because they operate with limited technological resources and work with learners with weaker digital proficiencies. In this paper, we describe how we rapidly adapted our face-to-face empowerment program for women to remote learning despite technological limitations. We also discuss the outcomes as evaluated by pre- and post-tests, participant observations and interviews. We finish by summarizing the successes and challenges of addressing this new reality in education.
