About EQUALS
EQUALS, the Global Partnership to Bridge the Digital Gender Divide, is a multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together international organisations, the private sector, government agencies, civil society organisations, and academia to address the growing digital gender divide. The Access Coalition, led by the GSMA, focuses on reducing the gender gap in internet access and use to empower women and girls and reduce inequality.
Leveraging the experience and diversity of its partners, the EQUALS Access Coalition recently published the report 10 Lessons Learnt: Closing the Gender Gap in Internet Access and Use, which includes examples based on the work of the Coalition’s members and lessons learned along the way.
