Mobile Gender Gap Report 2021: Virtual Launch
Join us for the launch of the Mobile Gender Gap Report 2021 to hear the latest data and insights on the mobile gender gap across low- and middle-income countries. You’ll also learn how our partners are working tirelessly to improve digital and financial inclusion for women, reaching 50 million women and counting.
Access to a mobile phone and mobile internet provides women with a range of opportunities to improve their lives, including information and services related to income generation, education, health, safety and personal wellbeing. These opportunities are even more critical as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disproportionately affect women.
Sizing the mobile gender gap and generating country-level data draws attention to this issue and provides key evidence to inform action. We look forward to exploring the new research with you and hearing the perspectives of our partners as they share what they are doing to drive digital and financial inclusion for women.
The Mobile Gender Gap Report 2021 will be launched on Thursday 17 June here.
