The GSMA's Mobile Gender Gap Report 2026 highlights a significant disparity in mobile internet access between genders, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. The report indicates that over 810 million women in low- and middle-income countries are not connected to mobile internet services. It reveals that women in these regions are 12% less likely to utilize mobile internet compared to their male counterparts, underscoring the persistent digital divide that affects women's access to information and opportunities. This gap poses challenges for economic empowerment and social inclusion for women in these areas.
