Women and Digital Inclusion, New Vision.

The ability to access and use the internet effectively is central to women’s digital inclusion.

• When women gain meaningful access and participate in evolving knowledge societies, it is not only women that benefit, but the whole economy.

• Promoting internet access for women is much more than an issue of gender equality; it is an essential part of the economic, social and political development of the countries.

It is vital to find ways to empower women to participate in designing, building and leading our shared digital future.

• This will require not only the decision of policy-makers, but also the understanding of societies, and the commitment of leaders
