Abstract

Gender bias, COVID-19 and the mobile Internet are among the most pressing issues of the day in the Global South. And while they are too often discussed in isolation from one another, in fact they exhibit multiple causalities, which need to be taken into account, in making policy towards any of them. More specifically, this chapter considers not only the direct effects of the mobile Internet on gender and the COVID-19 pandemic, but also the reverse effects of the two latter phenomena on the former. I begin with the direct causalities where the effects of mobile Internet are felt on the incidence and severity of COVID-19 and deal thereafter with the relationships that run in the opposite direction. The final section is concerned with the policy implications of my findings.
