MWC Barcelona 2019 Seminar: From challenge to impact – how to reach women at scale
Join us for the launch of our 2019 “Mobile Gender Gap Report” and hear how our Connected Women Commitment Partners are accelerating digital and financial inclusion for women, reaching over 16 million women and counting.
A significant gender gap in mobile phone ownership and usage in low- and middle-income countries, particularly for more transformational services such as mobile internet and mobile money services, is hindering growth for the mobile industry and means women are missing out. Learn what our new research and data says as we share our latest figures on the size of the mobile gender gap and explore the key issues and opportunities as well as progress that has been made. Hear also how our partners are working to realise the significant commercial and social opportunity of greater digital and financial inclusion for women and network with others who are tackling this challenge. When women thrive, societies, businesses and economies thrive.
This seminar, hosted by the Connected Women Programme, is open to all MWC attendees. Make sure you have purchased your pass from the official MWC Barcelona 2019 website.
