“…Prior literature reveals that ICT use has led to increases in economic gain and a sense of self-worth among women in many developing countries, e.g., Indonesia (Melissa, Hamidati, Saraswati, & Flor, 2015) and Mozambique (Macueve, Mandlate, Ginder, Gaster, & Macome, 2009).

“…En este sentido, un estudio realizado por Kyomuhendo (2009), en Uganda, pone en evidencia que comprender el impacto del uso de dispositivos móviles incrementa los ingresos a nivel individual, sin necesariamente transformar las estructuras sociales restrictivas del patriarcado, ni la desigualdad de género que siguen permaneciendo intactas en las comunidades.
