"This comparative analysis examines the digital gender paradox across Tunisia and South Africa, where high female educational attainment in STEM contrasts sharply with low representation in technological leadership. It explores key structural bottlenecks—including the rural-urban divide, online gender-based violence, and access to capital—while presenting policy frameworks for a feminist digital transformation across the African continent."
