Abstract: Internet access has increased in recent years with the introduction of new telecoms operators and a drop in sim card and mobile data prices. Despite improvements in access and affordability, women are 28% less likely than men to own a mobile phone, the primary means of accessing the internet in Myanmar. While there is no official gender disaggregated data collected by the government to monitor and evaluate the status of gender and ICT in the country, this data has been collected by non-governmental organizations such as LIRNEasia, MIDO and GSMA, and should inform gender responsive ICT policymaking.
