WomenKonnect goes to Secondary Schools in Lagos!

WomenKonnect is preparing to take off Sensitization programmes for Secondary School Girls in October 2008.During this workshops,girls would be sensitized on the gender digital divide,and they would be encouraged to participate more in ICTs.It has been discovered that most girls do not show interest in Technology because they believe it is a male domain.

Mentoring young girls is a way to assist them in finding their feet and overcoming all forms of discrimination that they may face in the ICTs field

The overall aim of this programme is to identify those girls who would like to build a career in ICTs,so as to be able to mentor and assist them in planning thier future career wise.

The first of the series of workshop will take place at Ogudu Senior Grammar School,Ogudu GRA Lagos.
