Digital tools are vital in helping people manage many aspects of their lives. However, women continue to be left behind. Our foundation is committed to closing the gender digital divide because when women can participate fully in the digital economy, everyone benefits.

An awesome development from the Gates Foundation, USAID, & The White House! Gender equality in the modern age is only possible when women & girls are afforded the same access to digital technologies as men—which is why it's so important we work to close the digital gender divide.

Communities are transformed when we invest in digital infrastructure, and that’s why we’re excited to partner with USAID to address the gender digital divide. When we expand access to the tools people need to thrive in the digital economy, everyone benefits.

In an increasingly online world, digital connectivity is an essential part of life no matter where you live. The effort Vice President JD Vance announced yesterday will help close the digital gender divide—and connect more women & girls to the opportunities technology opens. m-gat.es/3lNKqvz
