ITWomen Africa Foundation today celebrated

The event, which commemorates the International ICT Girls Day Celebration for 2022, with the theme ‘Access and Safety,’ is part of the organization’s desire to join the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations specialised agency for information and communication technologies – (ICTs), to honour girls with aspirations to pursue a career in ICT and encourage their participation in ICT around the world.

As technology plays a role in a variety of vocations, it is vital to engage more girls and women in the ICT sector.

As a result, mastering technical skills at an early age can help girls achieve economic independence while also preparing them for future tech careers.

ITWomen Africa has opted to commemorate the day as their quota to boost girls’ engagement and interest in ICT, having awareness of the statistics of women and girls participation in ICT in Ghana and the world at large.

The purpose of the event was to

  • Increase girls’ participation in ICT.
  • Encourage their desire to pursue a career in ICT as the world is digitally evolving
  • Harness Skills In Digital Writing As A Tech Career

The event took place at Special Grace Academy in Tantra Hills, Accra, Ghana on April 28th, 2022,

The programme was aimed at girls in primary school, from upper primary through junior high school.

These young and enthusiastic girls were taught everything there is to know about blogging, including the fundamentals of what it is, how to write a blog, writing styles/templates for creating the blog, software to proofread before posting, how to open a free blog account, and how to monetize the blog.
