Women are 14% less likely than men to use mobile internet in LMICs, with 885 million remaining unconnected LONDON, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Progress in closing the gender gap in mobile internet use across LMICs stalled in 2024, according to the 'Mobile Gender Gap Report 2025', published today by the GSMA. Findings show that women are still 14% less likely than men to use mobile internet, with around 235 million fewer women online. Overall, 885 million women in LMICs remain without mobile internet access, the majority of whom live in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. The report examines data on women's mobile access and use across 15 LMICs, the barriers they face to adopting and using mobile internet and how this compares with men. Most women surveyed reported that mobile internet positively impacts their lives by enhancing communication, supporting livelihoods, and enabling access to essential services such as healthcare and finance. While 63% of women in LMICs are using mobile internet, gender gaps remain. This gap narrowed from 25% in 2017, and to 15% in 2020 but stagnated between 2021 and 2022. In 2023, it narrowed again returning to 15% but has seen little change since. The disparity remains highest in South Asia (32%) and Sub-Saharan Africa (29%). Claire Sibthorpe, Head of Digital Inclusion at the GSMA comments: "It's disheartening that progress in reducing the mobile internet gender gap has stalled. The data highlights the urgent need for increased focus and investment by all stakeholders working together to close the digital gender divide. The mobile internet gender gap is not going to close on its own. It is driven by deep-rooted social, economic, and cultural factors that disproportionately impact women. Our Connected Women Commitment Initiative shows that by taking concrete actions to address women's needs and the barriers they face, it is possible to drive change. Since this initiative was launched in 2016, our operator partners have collectively reached over 80 million additional women with mobile internet or mobile money services." While 61% of women in LMICs own a smartphone, that still leaves 945 million without one. Entry-level smartphones cost women an average of 24% of their monthly income, double the cost for men. Once connected, women use mobile internet less frequently and for fewer services, citing affordability, safety, and poor connectivity. Read more here.
There is a critical need for trustworthy, hyper-personalized information earlier in the diagnosis and treatment journey to empower patients to participate in their care The partnership will initially focus on endometriosis and hematology; high-need therapeutic areas where patients are actively seeking information Connecting tailored information with relevant, motivated audiences will reinvent the way DTC advertising interacts and engages with consumers NEW YORK, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ubie, an AI-driven and medically vetted healthcare prediction platform that guides patients to the care they need, and CMI Media Group, a WPP (NYSE: WPP), healthcare media agency, announced a partnership aiming to transform direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising, beginning with women's health and hematology/oncology. The collaboration integrates Ubie's AI Symptom Checker with CMI's precision media expertise to address the pharmaceutical industry's challenges in reaching patients with personalized, engaging messaging at scale. This combination will help accelerate time to diagnosis and the identification of the best available treatment. American consumers continue to face challenges in managing their own health, including long waits for doctor appointments and treatment, increasing healthcare costs, and broken patient engagement. At the same time, consumers are more active in seeking information for their health conditions, increasingly relying on online tools and information. But, there is an excessive amount of noise online, including a large amount of conflicting information and misinformation. To reach consumers, marketers need to meet patients where they are, by using highly-personalized, patient-centric, and brand-safe approaches, rather than the traditional scattergun approach – a concept understood in industries outside of healthcare. "Today's healthcare consumers are active and want to be engaged with, but with so many websites, ads, and social media posts, it can be a struggle to understand what information to trust to take control of their own care," said Kota Kubo, Co-Founder and CEO of Ubie. "By combining the ability of Ubie's medically trained AI to decode symptom patterns with CMI's strategic expertise in reaching consumers, we're creating tools that can better connect with those looking for answers about their symptoms." A one size fits all approach doesn't help patients navigate healthcare. Personalization is one key to delivering improved opportunities to engage in health behaviors. The partnership will allow DTC advertisers to engage patients individually, reaching consumers who are searching for more information where they are. Ubie's online platform is a highly accurate, medically-validated AI symptom checker that is free and easily accessible. Ubie engages patients early in their journey, providing personalized information about potential conditions and guiding them toward appropriate medical care, including appropriate providers and treatment information. This information can empower patients to become knowledgeable, active participants in their own health care and take the steps needed for better outcomes. "For this specific partnership, women's health was a perfect fit. The need for education in this space is at a critical place right now. By leveraging new technologies that allow women the opportunity to quickly and accurately gain access to data is life changing," adds Julie Hurvitz Aliaga, EVP of Innovation, Content and Partnerships of CMI Media Group. Viewing people as consumers of healthcare, rather than passive receivers, can enhance the quality of care. New innovations, like AI trained on medical data, can reach consumers with individually tailored information. DTC advertising has the opportunity to meet even the most unique needs with resources that can empower consumers to become partners in their care.

From Paris to New York, AWDPI's mission to empower Asian women earns global recognition and catalyzes new action at CSW69. NEW YORK, May 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In March 2025, the global non-profit organization Asian Women Development Plan International (AWDPI) received two prestigious honors during the 69th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) at UN Headquarters in New York. AWDPI was awarded the Global Outstanding Women's Public Welfare Organization Award, while its Board Member, Ms. Stephanie Sun, received the Asian Outstanding Female Leadership Award. These accolades reflect the international community's recognition of AWDPI's leadership in promoting gender equality and the rising global influence of Asian women in public service. Five Years of Global Impact: Empowering Asian Women Worldwide Founded in 2020 by Ms. Yimar Yu, AWDPI evolved from its original founding program Avoice (Against Violence to Overseas Chinese Women Program). The organization works to eliminate gender-based violence and discrimination and to uplift Asian women through economic opportunity, political engagement, and cultural empowerment. Over the past five years, AWDPI has established a global footprint with offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, and Australia. Partnering with the United Nations, governments, academia, and private sector stakeholders, it has directly supported thousands of Asian women in more than 30 countries. Programs such as the Anti-Domestic Violence Support System and the Conference of Asian Women Development International are widely regarded as global models for innovation and cross-cultural impact in gender advocacy. A Powerful Voice at the United Nations AWDPI has participated in high-level dialogues and official parallel forums hosted by the United Nations, amplifying the call for equitable opportunities for Asian women. Its representatives have shared critical insights, proposed actionable policies, and strengthened interregional cooperation for sustainable development. Advocating in Paris: Championing China's Gender Equality Policy On March 5, AWDPI Board Member Ms. Yanping Wang, a delegate to the landmark 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, took the stage at the Femina Vox International Forum held at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. Speaking at the opening high-level roundtable, she reflected on the enduring global significance of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action—30 years on. In a compelling dialogue moderated by UNESCO Artist for Peace Dr. Guila Clara Kessous, Ms. Wang reaffirmed China's deep-rooted commitment to gender equality and inclusive development. She highlighted how the principles first enshrined in the Beijing Declaration continue to guide international cooperation on women's rights. "Empowering women is synonymous with empowering all of humanity," she emphasized, calling on governments, private sector leaders, and civil society to re-energize their commitment to gender justice in the face of growing global challenges. Her remarks brought a powerful historical and policy perspective to the forum and were met with broad international resonance. Breaking Barriers: Stephanie Sun's Personal Journey of Leadership On March 17, during CSW69 at the headquarters of the United Nations in New York, AWDPI Board Member Stephanie Sun was invited to share her inspiring journey with her personal "firsts": including being the first one going to college and the first immigrant in her family, she became the first female immigrant in history to be appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania as Executive Director of the Governor's Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs. She also made history by spearheading the historic progress of the Pennsylvania election system moving from bilingual to trilingual, adding the first Asian language, Chinese, secured by the federal Voting Rights Act, and by becoming the first Asian to serve as Vice President of the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, part of the largest civil rights organizations in the U.S. Despite systemic challenges historically faced by Asian communities, Ms. Sun's story is a powerful example of individual resilience driving systemic change. She encouraged Asian women to become agents of transformation and to create 'countless firsts' in public life. Her speech was met with great enthusiasm and was interrupted several times by resounding applause. For her outstanding contributions to public policy and civic engagement, she received the Asian Outstanding Female Leadership Award. Other honorees at the event included Nobel laureate Ms. Youyou Tu, and former Secretary Ms. Elaine Chao. Shaping the Global Gender Agenda: AWDPI at the New York Action Initiative On March 19, AWDPI played a key role in CSW69's parallel forum on Women's Economic Empowerment. Ms. Yuting Deng, AWDPI's U.S. Representative, presented findings from global projects and urged policymakers to take meaningful steps to address the needs of overseas Asian women. Building on this engagement, AWDPI joined international delegates in signing the New York Action Initiative, symbolizing cross-border solidarity and shared commitment to women's empowerment. Throughout CSW69, Ms. Tiantian Wu, Director of AWDPI's U.S. National Office, led AWDPI's strategic policy engagement and multilateral dialogue to amplify the voices of Asian women in global gender discussions. "Every registration table is a site of advocacy, and every coffee break holds the potential for change," she noted. Through sustained and intentional presence, AWDPI ensured that the priorities of Asian women were meaningfully integrated into international gender equality agendas. A Call to Action: Lighting the Path Ahead At the award ceremony of CSW69's parallel forum, held at the United Nations Headquarters, AWDPI founder Ms. Yimar Yu reaffirmed the organization's commitment to empowering Asian women, advancing their participation and leadership in global progress. She extended her sincere appreciation to UN Gender Equality Advocate Ms. Hawa Taylor-Kamara Diallo, who also served as the award presenter, for her decades-long leadership in fostering cross-cultural understanding and advancing global gender equality. From Paris to New York, AWDPI has been a consistent contributor to global gender equality efforts and human rights through sustained multilateral engagement. As a signatory to the New York Action Initiative, AWDPI continues to champion inclusive development through gender-responsive advocacy and international cooperation. "Where fragments of light converge, they will ultimately illuminate the future of human civilization." —AWDPI AWDPI calls upon partners, media, and allies worldwide to join in advancing a more just, inclusive, and gender-equal world.
