The 2023 'Girls and Mobile' report highlights gender gap for access to mobile phones amongst adolescents despite equal interest in the devices

Summary

KEY POINTS:
  1. Girls have less access to mobile phones than boys, resulting in fewer opportunities to benefit from technology. 
  2. Access to technology is an issue for women’s safety and education. 
  3. Belief that girls are more vulnerable than boys can be damaging to self-confidence and development.
