Abstract

The article examines the digital divide as a multidimensional phenomenon that reproduces structural inequalities and deepens the vulnerability of disadvantaged groups. It argues that the divide goes beyond access to devices or connectivity and includes the skills and effective capacity to use ICTs. It underscores the enabling nature of internet access for other rights and reviews existing regulatory frameworks. The Province of Jujuy is presented as an innovative case for recognizing digital rights in its 2023 Constitution. The article concludes that their effectiveness requires sustained public policies focused on the most vulnerable sectors.
