Women and the Web: Bridging the Internet gap and creating new global opportunities in low and middle-income countries

’From activists in Egypt to coffee farmers in Colombia, the Internet has transformed the lives of billions of people. It functions as a gateway to ideas, resources, and opportunities that never could have been realized before, let alone fathomed. All around the world, the Internet is helping people to imagine new possibilities—and then, to make them happen. But women and girls are being left behind’. The ‘Women and the Web’ report (www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/pdf/women-and-the-web.pdf) examines the barriers that prevent women from accessing the Internet in developing countries and how Internet access for women could be expanded in those countries.
