 1lVSEI3UlRLdz09\nMeeting ID: 971 5609 9278 Passcode: 324627\n\n[Joint work
  with Emily Rains\, Jakana Thomas\, and Jingwen Wu]\n\n\nExisting research
  finds both that women are less likely to protest than men and cellphone a
 ccess increases protest participation. Yet\, no work asks whether gulfs in
  mobile ownership between men and women can\, in part\, explain protest tu
 rnout gaps. Our research examines this relationship\, showing that the gro
 wing gender digital divide in cellphone ownership exacerbates the particip
 ation gap. Using survey data from 37 African countries\, we show that wome
 n protest significantly less than men where they own relatively fewer cell
 phones. We probe one mechanism underpinning this relationship demonstratin
 g that women who do not own cellphones face a political information disadv
 antage that limits their engagement. Our study suggests unequal cellphone 
 access further entrenches women’s position on the political margins.\nSp
