Abstract
The digital divide represents one of the most pressing challenges facing human rights education
in the 21st century, with 2.6 billion people worldwide lacking internet access. This article examines
how mobile technology, combined with traditional media platforms including radio, television,
and social media networks such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, can serve as
powerful vehicles for building human rights literacy in the Global South. Through detailed
analysis of platform usage data from Nigeria as a case study, this research demonstrates the
transformative potential of multiplatform approaches to human rights education delivery. The
article explores the intersection of mobile connectivity, digital platforms, and human rights
awareness, proposing comprehensive strategies for leveraging these technologies to close the
educational divide. Drawing on current data and scholarship, this work argues that a coordinated,
context sensitive approach utilizing diverse platforms can significantly expand human rights
literacy even in contexts marked by infrastructure challenges and economic constraints. The
findings have implications for policymakers, educators, civil society organizations, and
technology companies seeking to democratize human rights knowledge through digital innovation.
