Harnessing the power of mobile phones to bridge the
digital divide
• One cannot talk of empowering women digitally and ignore
the ubiquitous mobile phone, especially in the developing
world
• According to the mobile operators association, Groupe Special
Mobile Association (GSMA), there are now 4.7 billion
connected people on the planet, and of these, 3.2 billion
access the Internet via a mobile instrument.
• The GSMA points out in a report that the gap between male
and female mobile phone users stands at 200 million, with
male mobile users in greater numbers.

suggestions in which mobile network operators or MNOs can
solve the problem

the Internet to every mobile.

attempts are being made to take women to the Internet
