The GSMA is set to launch the Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024 mid next month
According to the Head of Digital Inclusion, GSMA, this will take place on Wednesday 15 May.
They will share the latest insights on the mobile gender gap across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), presented by Nadia Jeffrie, lead author of the report.
Participants at the launch will also hear from the Secretary-General of the ITU, the CEO of MTN Uganda, the Vice President & Head-Strategic Initiatives of Jio and the Director General of the GSMA who will share their reactions to the findings and speak about what can be done to accelerate digital inclusion for women.
The GSMA’s latest data shows that the mobile internet gender gap in 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.
