Full Thematic Reports

Women are pulled toward digital technology by clear desires, to earn money, expand their knowledge, and access health information, yet their journeys are repeatedly interrupted: by practical barriers like phone charging and data costs, by self-imposed restrictions shaped by social norms and harmful online content, and by confidence gaps such as shame about asking for help. Across a seven-part series, the deck traces how these barriers shift between countries and between urban and rural settings, offering policymakers, donors, telcos, digital service providers, and designers a grounded view of the realities women navigate every day.
