This document discusses barriers that prevent women in developing countries from accessing and using digital technologies. It notes that factors like cost, literacy, safety concerns, and social norms often interact with poverty to exclude as much as 80% of the population, mostly women, from being online. While digital access could help alleviate poverty, women generally have fewer opportunities to use technologies than men due to cultural and socioeconomic reasons. If this gap is not addressed, women risk further marginalization. The document advocates addressing core issues that prohibit women's tech use through strategies like pairing tech initiatives with other programs, ensuring safety, using local role models and languages, promoting confidence, and employing both online and offline approaches.
