The Girl Tech Talk: 2021 Pre-Conference

Achieving an Equal Future in a Covid-19 World: Choose to Challenge

for Change - Celebrating Women and Girls in Tech Collectively

Background

However, due to COVID-19, which forced school closures. The 2020 annual conference could not proceed. Therefore, to close the anticipation that was not met in 2020, in March 2021, four women-led organizations (from Lesotho, Kenya, Botswana, and Ghana) teamed up to participate in the pre-conference and have a conversation around a theme: "Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID19 World: Choose to Challenge."
