Perusing through by lot of posts regarding women's month. A lot of female entrepreneurs are hosting business trainings to help fellow women start their own businesses as well. I am all for women supporting women but I have also noticed that people tend to forget that the majority of their mentees here in third world countries can not afford to attend the trainings and they also lack the necessary skills to act on what they would have learnt. The United Nations 2024 theme for celebrating International Women's Day was 'Invest in women: Accelerate progress.' In line with the theme I am grateful to organizations such as Digital Africa , Tofara Online Trust and Uncommon.org among others. These organizations are equipping young women and men with digital skills that they can use to better their livelihoods. These lessons are fully funded by the organizers and it motivates more young people to join without worrying about tuition fees. Such initiatives helps us attain the Sustainable Development Goals that talk about Gender Equality (SDG 5) as well as Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8). The more we bridge the gap of gender representation in technology, we allow women to have better jobs fostering economic growth. as such these young women will not fall prey into early marriages and prostitution just to earn a living. I would like to continue this conversation and hear what your thoughts as well. Please leave a comment below and let us help each other on ways to further disseminate digital skills to other women who can not afford the tuition. #talent4startups #scoreyourfuture #digitalafrica #tofaraonline #womenintech #womenempowerment Photo credit : Pinterest

Beyond mere numbers, diversity in ICT fosters a richness of perspectives, problem-solving approaches, and creative solutions. Advocating for more women in ICT in Botswana is about fairness, harnessing untapped talent, and creating a more inclusive, innovative future for all. New Era College's advocacy isn't just about numbers; it's about unlocking potential and driving societal progress. #Inclusivity #EmpoweringWomen

This International Women's Day, we're proud to stand with the theme 'Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.' As we reflect on this theme, 'Count Her In,' let's recognise the barriers women face in accessing education, employment, and financial services. Equal opportunities should be available to all, and at Alteris Financial Group, we are committed to investing in the economic empowerment of women. This includes providing access to financial education and advice, supporting and contributing to programs that have a direct impact on women's economic empowerment both at home and abroad, as well as our own initiative, @alteriswomen - our mission is to advance women's economic empowerment through shared knowledge and lived experiences. Empowering women economically is not just about equality, it's about building stronger communities and accelerating progress for all. #alterisfinancialgroup #prosperityforlife #alteriswomen #economicempowerment #internationalwomensday #iwd2024 #investinher #womeninfinance

Happy Women’s Day in advance to all. The United Nations has decided 2024’s theme as 'Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress' which is very much needed to tackle economic disempowerment. There is no true independence and empowerment than economic equality and education. #internationalwomenday2024 #economicempowerment #economicequality #entrenchedpatriarchy

https://lnkd.in/dQDSmCmz 🌻I hope organisations that offer digital trainings or work with women get to understand the importance of #collaborating in empowering women, with digital skills training. Though, I've highlighted women, digital learning is essential for everyone. More especially in this day and age as the technologies are constantly evolving, the gap in digital literacy also continues to widen. 👏May we please remember the marginalized communities; youths, persons with disabilities, those in poverty-stricken and rural communities, because to meet the sustainable develop goal -#SDG10-Reduced Inequalities. We need #inclusion. #digitalskills #sustainability #collaboration

Happy International Women's Day. As we celebrate the achievements of women worldwide, let's also recognize the urgent need to invest in women to drive economic growth and create more equitable societies. In the face of conflicts and crises that disproportionately affect women, the time for peace and empowerment has never been more critical. Did you know that 1 in every ten women lives in extreme poverty? Or that over 614 million women and girls are living in conflict-affected areas, facing increased risks of poverty and hunger? It's time to change these statistics by prioritizing education, fair wages, and social benefits for women and girls globally. Let's work together to transform social norms, advance women's rights, and ensure access to education, healthcare, and decent work for all women. Investing in women accelerates progress and paves the way for a more prosperous and inclusive future for all. #InternationalWomensDay #InvestInWomen #EmpowerWomen #GenderEquality #InspireInclusion.

As South Africa celebrates 30-year anniversary of the first democratic election held on April 27, 1994, The SA government has put in policies and laws in place to empower women, to enable them to improve their lives, while closing the gender gap. As the Midrand Branch our key strategic focus is on entrepreneurship and innovation that enables sustainability for economic growth. The discussion for the women’s month is a reflection from women in entrepreneurship within the innovation sector to discuss their personal journeys, with all challenges faced and the successes achieved, to empower and enable other many inspiring women. https://lnkd.in/dxf2y4qJ
