While education and career development are top priorities for women Internet users in India, 40 percent of them fear irrelevant comments, being trolled and followed on smartphones which has become a preferred choice for them to remain online, a new report said on Tuesday.

While 44 per cent of women in Indian metros access online content in English to improve their soft skills and stay "job-ready," this focus is sharper among younger women between the 18-23 age group, said the Verizon Media survey conducted by Nielsen with 1,300 respondents in 12 cities.
