The challenges and benefits for professional tech women and the inspiring stories of women who are leading the way for girls empowerment and women’s economic sustainability with technology. The focus questions are: What is the role of women in Africa, Middle East, and South India’s fast emerging digital landscape and what types of contributions are they making? What challenges do women who tech in Africa, Middle East, and other countries around the world face? Are they similar or different than in the US? How is technology improving the everyday lives of women and girls in developing countries?
