gender

I received this by email recently:

"The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women and the GSMA Development Fund are pleased to announce the publication of Women & Mobile: A Global Opportunity, following it’s launch yesterday (Feb 16, 2010) at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The report is the first detailed study of its kind on the mobile phone gender gap in low and middle-income countries and showcases how using a mobile phone can improve the socio-economic status of women. We hope to use the report to launch a larger initiative to increase women’s access to the mobile market."

The document appears to appeal to shed light on issues about women and mobile technology, including hang-ups and market opportunities.  As I've heard more and more about mobile technology's ability to address gender equality, I thought it might be helpful to pass along.
