$1.2 trillion lost to digital exclusion.
$511 billion more at stake.
This is not just a gender issue - it’s an economic one.

Today we published the final five reports in our Beyond Resilience: The Rising Cost of Digital Exclusion for Women in the Global Majority series, covering Cambodia, El Salvador, Nigeria, Pakistan, & South Africa.
Our global analysis found that more than US$1.2 trillion in economic opportunity has already been lost to digital exclusion, with a further US$511 billion at risk without urgent action.

Great conversation with @AngelaLudek early this morning. Technology is not neutral; we must be intentional about the meaningful inclusion of women and other marginalized populations in digital technologies. Check out @GDInclusion's Beyond Resilience report globaldigitalinclusion.org/2…
[ON AIR] The digital world is opening doors, creating opportunities and shaping the future — but millions of women and girls are still being left behind.
We unpack "Women’s Rights in the Digital Era" with feminist and digital rights advocate Onica Nonhlanhla Makwakwa on #Quantum with @AngelaLudek.
For World Telecommunication & Information Society Day, our Exec Dir, @SoniaJorgeICT4D, joined Portugal’s @RTPNoticias to discuss digital inclusion & connectivity across Africa.
While internet access is growing, Africa still remains below the global average for connectivity.
The discussion featured leaders across technology, cybersecurity, & digital infrastructure exploring the challenges & opportunities shaping the continent’s digital future.

Digital inclusion isn’t a “nice-to-have” - it’s an economic imperative.
Our report shows low- & middle-income countries have already lost $1.2T in GDP due to the gender digital divide, with $511B more at risk by 2030.
