In this seventh edition of The Mobile Gender Gap Report, we share the latest data on women’s mobile access and use in LMICs, the barriers they face and how this compares to men. We share recommendations to close the mobile gender gap and reach women with mobile, with suggested actions for mobile network operators (MNOs), policymakers and regulators, the development community and other stakeholders.
Ensuring that women can access and use mobile is essential, especially in our increasingly digital world. Mobile can enable women to be more resilient in the face of economic, climate and political crises and shocks. More attention, effort and investment are needed to close the mobile internet gender gap – a goal we must continue to strive to meet so that women, their communities and society can reap the full, life-changing benefits of mobile.
