Google has planned to hold seven Women Techmakers (WTM) events in Pakistan this year in order to promote and empower around 1,550 female engineers in five locations.
The seven events, which will include rallies, seminars, networking events, and conferences, will take place from March 8 to May and will give training in a variety of entrepreneurial sectors such as leadership, technical abilities, and how to handle special hurdles faced by women in technology.
This year’s IWD theme for WTM activities is #DareToBe.
According to the news release, the events will be hosted by local WTM ambassadors with assistance from Google. The WTM ambassador programme assists women in technology who want to make a difference and give back to their communities.
Farhan S. Qureshi, Google Regional Director for Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka said: “These events, in collaboration with Women Techmakers (WTM) Ambassadors, don’t only recognize the accomplishments of women in tech, but will also encourage more women to join the fast-growing tech industry.
Over the years, WTM and its ambassadors have organized many events that have helped women developers reach their true and full potential. That said, the program will promote diversity, equality, and inclusion in the tech sector, which is the primary mission of Google,” he added.
WTM is a global initiative by Google to provide visibility, community, and resources for women in tech said a piece of news.
