“Digi is happy to partner with the GSMA in a collective effort to bring mobile connectivity to more women globally. In Malaysia, 6 million women have yet to access the internet, and bridging the digital gender gap will help ensure these women can be active participants and contributors in the digital economy.

We hope to see every Malaysian woman connected and empowered because we believe these efforts will cause a socio-economic ripple effect for the betterment of families, communities and society at large. In support of the GSMA’s Connected Women initiative, we commit to increasing the proportion of women in our mobile internet customer base in Malaysia from 42 per cent to 47 per cent by 2020.”
