This trait is more prominent in African homes and especially poor African homes [1]. Despite women's contribution to society, they are still seen as inferior and the gender gap is large, especially in poor areas [1]. The evident gender discrimination and male dominance sometimes lead women into believing that they are powerless and results in them depending on a man to be the sole provider or decider of women’s fate [1]. For example, in West Bengal where no woman had ever been a leader, 86% of parents wanted their daughters to become whatever their in-laws wanted, or to become a housewife [1]. Women's empowerment becomes very crucial, as it can improve women’s self-worth and reduce the gender gap. In some African countries, males are the sole leaders on culture, religion, and politics [2]; and this violates basic human rights such as inclusion and nondiscrimination [3]. Gender equality and women empowerment comprise one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [4]; to promote equality and also bring another aspect of development [1], and the benefits can be carried over to the next generation [5].Technology acceptance modelSustainable livelihoods frameworkInformation and communication technology for developmentSustainable development goals
