In the south of the world, online women present a 25% lower number than men and goes up to 45% in sub-Saharan Africa. The UNESCO asserts that empowering women with access to the internet, and the basic technical skills required to use it, will result in cultural, social and economic benefits; indeed, promoting digital literacy granting access to information has to be considered as a necessary life skills that will allow to elevate families, communities and whole nations. According to Plan UK - a global children’s charity - a woman’s income increases up to 20% thanks to a single extra year of education; furthermore, fighting digital illiteracy means supporting democracy by giving people, especially women, the tools to raise their voice and stand for their rights.
