This report details the findings that with real access to meaningful information, women can make more effective decisions and harness the opportunities available for education, land, agricultural production, and starting a business.
Often in our societies, it is the most vulnerable populations who suffer the greatest due to limited access to information, and this is very true for women. Even in countries with laws and rights to information, it seems that women are less likely to receive and access needed information.
