ICT for Girls - On going project.

WHSF has provided over 1000 Girls with ICT training under the "Her Golden Voice" initiative.

Gender is an important issue in the context of information and communication technologies (ICT). Studies show that ICT use is subject to gender bias, e.g. in relation to ICT use and interests. This contribution describes the current situation of gender and ICT professions.

The Girls in ICT Program is a free, integrated skills training program that combines technical training and hands-on experience to achieve a sustainable goal. This training is informed by the inactive of young women and girl children in 21st-century technology. We are proposing a secondary school technical training to the girl students to encourage them and equip them for the future.

HER GOLDEN VOICE - Launched in Nigeria in October 2021

Gender inequality is one of the most serious and perverse forms of discrimination. It keeps women and girls in poverty, deprives them of their rights, and undermines their capacity for change. In every corner of the world, women exercise less power and control than men. Their vulnerability to violence, the reproductive burden they bear, their unequal access to resources, and scant legal protection puts them in a position of constant risk. Such inequality is a fundamental breach of women’s rights and an almost insurmountable barrier to their development. Launching our “Her Golden Voice” in Nigeria has given birth to an opportunity to create awareness of gender equality to support girls and women in Africa.

Desired Impact

The beneficiary girls and women aim to achieve the following impact:

• Knowing their rights and having their voices

• Decision making

• Knowledge of community engagement and opportunities

• Rights on Sexual and reproductive health services

• Inclusion in leadership roles at all levels
