The woman power: This is how this all-female company is revolutionising Africa's tech industry
In a male-dominated tech industry, an all-female data company is challenging the status quo with a focus on women.
With a backdrop of equity and inclusion, this innovative company is exploiting the power of women to transform the way we approach data and technology.
Data Girl Technologies, based in Cameroon, offers young African women access to coding education, mentorship, and networking opportunities.
Speaking with Global South World's Edward Sakyi, Eposi Frida, co-founder of Data Girl Technologies, said the company believes that more women are needed in the tech space and that they must have access to the software, hardware, and education needed to pursue the tech dream.
"The goal is to not just train these women to run off, but it's for them to gain the skills that they need, you know, to get a job or to, you know, start their own businesses," Frida said.
In the spirit of International Women's Day, Data Girl Technologies is challenging traditional gender stereotypes and biases by breaking down barriers that have historically prevented women from pursuing careers in tech.
The company is showing the world that women can be just as successful and innovative in tech as men.
