Women continue to lag behind men in access to digital technologies. This should be a cause of concern to all of us. We must all work harder to close the gender digital divide and ensure equality in Internet use for women & girls. bit.ly/2CbJwhX

Congratulations @julia_durnan on all your hard work on the @ACLU’s Plan to End Mass Incarceration 50 state blueprint. Very proud!
Over the past two years I've had the privilege to work on the @urbaninstitute team providing research support to the @ACLU to examine what it would take to reduce imprisonment by 50 percent across states. To learn more, and check out your state: 50stateblueprint.aclu.org/

“We have to move past the issue of access...We can’t talk about closing the digital gender divide without talking about effective use” -Jonathan Donner from @cariboudigital @ the #DigitalDevForum. The #WomenConnect Challenge launched by @USAID yesterday intends to do just that!
