But many organizations are not effectively leveraging this technology to reach girls who need it the most. Girl Effect’s “Girls and Mobile 2.0” study explores new research on girls’ usage, adoption, and need for mobile and digital solutions and how we can promote demand-driven approaches to impact. Join us for an interactive session as we dive deeper into this data and hear from girls, funders, and other sector leaders about how we can better use mobile technology and co-create solutions with girls.
