Progress in closing the gender gap in mobile internet adoption has stalled, and women are being left behind 📉 ♀️

As we mark and this year’s theme, , the need for action is more urgent than ever.

Across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), women remain 14% less likely than men to use mobile internet, representing around 235 million fewer women than men. At a time when digital access is increasingly essential for healthcare, education, finance and livelihoods, this gap risks deepening existing inequalities.

Without sustained focus, investment and collaboration, this digital divide will persist, limiting women’s access to life-changing opportunities.

Now is the time to invest in women’s digital inclusion – for social impact and economic growth.

United Against Scams - A collective, industry-wide focus to safeguard digital trust 🔒

The scam economy has grown rapidly over the past five years, surpassing the illegal drug trade and costing victims $1 trillion worldwide in 2024. We urgently need to combat the rising number of scams that affect individuals and society, eroding trust in the global mobile industry.

This challenge requires collective action - the entire mobile industry must act now to protect people and strengthen digital trust. We need to bring together operators, partners and innovators around a single goal: protecting people and restoring trust in digital communications.

Together with our members, we're taking action across three fronts:
✅ Identifying threats & risks via knowledge & data sharing
✅ Developing cross-industry solutions
✅ Minimising member & consumer risk through education
