What started as a hackathon to get girls excited about tech has grown into a national NPO, impacting hundreds of young women 👩‍💻 Tinyiko Simbine, GirlCode👩💻 co-founder and CFO, shares insight into her journey. @accelerate_HER InspiringFifty_SA

Shocking that violence against women #VAWG continues relentlessly. When will we put a stop to this?

Launching the GirlCode👩💻 online Bootcamp in partnership with Amazon Web Services to prepare 20 unemployed graduates for jobs in tech. 👩🏽‍💻👩🏼‍💻How's your evening? #womenintech #GirlCoders

Really pleased to join World Health Organization (WHO) & UN Women today for #CSW65 to reflect on what works (and doesn’t) to prevent violence against women. We have the knowledge to eliminate #VAWG, but this needs a sustained approach + political will & resources commensurate with the scale of the problem

It’s the start of Women’s Month! Inspired by the Lions being in SA, BHC staff have been thinking about how they can contribute to a ‘level playing field’. What are you going to do to champion gender equality? #BeAChampion #ChampioningEquality #WebothWin

We can achieve gender equality when we… engage men & boys to act as champions of women’s rights, every day. Hear from the young men involved in the Justice Desk Africa Ntsika yeThemba project & how it is encouraging them to promote equality and act as positive role models.

Before joining our futurefemales_empowerment Business School programme, Susan had not considered using social media to promote her brand. She has now established her social media platforms, improved her website, and feels more confident to grow her business online. #uksatechhub #ffbs

Gender Based Violence is a global crisis. I’m proud the UK is further stepping up to tackle #VAWG and look forward to our Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office network taking action to mark this year’s #16days of activism campaign #orangetheworld

I highly recommend watching this insightful webinar hosted by JSE and GBVFResponseFund1. Really excellent panel. Not least Antony Phillipson British High Commissioner to South Africa.
