Summary

In March 2017, the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development’s Working Group on the Digital Gender Divide, co-chaired by the GSMA and UNESCO, launched a report with recommendations to address the gender gap in internet access and use. The report included commitments from Working Group members to implement these recommendations.
