The latest research by @webfoundation & @A4A_Internet finds that the digital gender gap has cost 32 countries $1 trillion over the past decade. Removing barriers to women and girls online isn't only an equality issue, it's an economic must. theguardian.com/global-develop…

It's #GivingTuesdayNow and the pandemic shows the web is not a luxury, it's a lifeline. Please help us fight for it. We can't do it without you.
Imagine living through this pandemic without access to the internet. That's the reality for nearly half of the world. We're fighting to change that — and on #GivingTuesdayNow, we're asking for your help. Please donate if you can: webfoundation.org/donate/
We are proud of the progress we’ve made in the 10 years — but our work is nowhere near done. Half the world remains without access. There are too many unacceptable risks for those online. It is more important than ever to fight for the #WebWeWant. webfoundation.org/2019/11/celebr…
