A smartphone is more than a device, it’s a gateway to services, income, and opportunity. Yet 800 million women remain offline, largely in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. The World Bank Group has committed to enabling 300 million more women to access and use broadband connectivity by 2030. This video explains why the gender digital divide persists, and what works to help women get online safely and confidently.

Expanding access, skills, and opportunity can unlock the digital world for millions of women. Closing the gender gap online means opening doors to jobs, services, and economic growth. Based on evidence from 100+ digital literacy programs, we explain the four design features that make women-focused digital skills programs more effective: delivery channels, instructional approaches, practical learning models, and wraparound support.
