#WomenInnovate: IWD 2019



In celebration of the International Women's Day Theme, 'Think Equal, Build Smart, Innovate for Change', Girls Voices Initiative engaged women in the Hairdressers Association in Orozo Community in a tech innovation project designing and creating a Pi Photo Booth. The event opened with the screening of the World Pulse film and an introduction to World Pulse and how women are using the platform to champion their advocacy to catalyze global change. The women quickly generated interest in the design of the photo booth when they understood how it supports their enterprise by taking pictures of their hand work and sharing it to promote their business. Most of the women had never used the computer before, yet they had a fun-learning experience designing and innovating together. Indeed, WOMEN CAN! As we encourage women to innovate, we create #BalanceForBetter in the technology innovation space.



Our organisation seeks to provide girls and women with education about their rights and empower the girls and women as advocates for the protection of girls' and women's rights in society. We also provide the girls and women with technology and digital media skills with which they can explore platforms and spaces to amplify their voices and innovate solutions to critical social issues affecting them. We were excited that the theme this year is exploring smart and innovative approaches to gender equality and global change. And we are investing innovation skills into girls and women so they can inspire the change the world so desperately needs. Let's co-create impact together with and for girls and women! Happy International Women's Day 2019! Happy Women's History Month!
