Interesting study. Thanks for sharing! 

In the same line of thought and building on the foundations of this study, Mobile Learning Week 2015 - UNESCO's flagship ICT in education event, is going to focus on leveraging technology to empower women and girls, especially those living in disadvantaged communities.
