The Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024 Launch

The Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024 Launch

Start: Wednesday 15 May 2024 13:00

End: Wednesday 15 May 2024 14:00

Join us for the launch of the GSMA’s Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024 to hear the latest data and insights on the mobile gender gap across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). You’ll also hear from ITU, Jio and MTN Uganda who will share their reactions to the findings and speak about what can be done to drive digital inclusion for women.

 

The GSMA’s latest data shows that the gender gap in mobile internet across LMICs narrowed from 19% in 2022 to 15% in 2023. This brings the mobile internet gender gap back to where it was in 2020. While there has been some progress in the last year, the gender gap in mobile internet remains substantial. Targeted action is needed to address the mobile internet gender gap and ensure that everyone is able to benefit from connectivity.

 

We look forward to presenting the latest research to you and hearing the perspectives of our partners as they share what they are doing, and what actions can be taken, to accelerate women’s digital inclusion.

 

The Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024 will be published on Wednesday 15 May here.
