Testimony of Joyce Warner, Senior Vice President & Chief of Staff, to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, November 17, 2015.

Women and girls are not benefiting equitably from the advantages that information and communications technologies bring to developing countries. There are numerous opportunities to introduce cost-effective interventions for greater ICT access that will maximize the benefits to women, their families, and communities.

This testimony summarizes what IREX has learned from working with women, girls, and technology. It also outlines ways that policymakers and development professionals can promote more equitable access to technology.
