Article 29 of the ACDEG talks about women empowerment in politics and the course was mainly to empower these women with skills they need during the 21st century campaigns.

All thanks to the support of Democracy Works Foundation , The Charter Project Africa and European Union for their generosity into making this project possible.
THANK YOU!!! LE KAMOSO!! P**A

Register! Register!

Over the weekend we had our 2nd session on Social Media 4 campaigns. Many women are subjected to sexist, racist, body shaming, scamming, sexting and other forms of abuse on social media platforms. This not only undermines their credibility but also affects their mental and emotional wellbeing.
But we must not let these attacks silence us or prevent us from fulfilling our roles as leaders in our communities. Instead, we must take action to protect ourselves and promote safe and respectful online spaces. We need to be aware of tools we can use and have knowledge on detecting unsafe content and not contributing to them.

The session focused more on numbers to show trends in Botswana for social media users to give a clear perspective to women on why they need to build their digital footprints and manage them in order to capture the masses towards 2024.

We are building a movement of women and youth who will stand together and build safe online campaigns towards 2024 elections.

Celebrating Girls in ICT day!

This day serves as a reminder of the importance of empowering young women and girls to pursue careers in the field of Information and Communication Technology.

As we continue to progress in the digital age, it is crucial that we ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate in and benefit from this transformation. However, we know that women and girls are often underrepresented in this field, which is why events like Girls in ICT Day are so important.

Today, lets celebrate the amazing work that women and girls are doing in the ICT field, and lets encourage even more young women to pursue careers in this area. By empowering more women to become leaders in the tech industry, we can create a more diverse, inclusive, and innovative world.

Thank you to all the trailblazing women who have paved the way, and to all the young girls who will continue to make their mark on the world of Technology.

Over the weekend we had our first session of ”Social Media for Campaigns “ project in Maun. Women active in politics, women aspiring to go into politics and women looking for ways they can have their voices heard in governance shared a room a discussed the political landscape of Botswana.

The project funded by Democracy Works Foundation through The Charter Project Africa, Civic Tech Fund Africa and European Union aims to help women with skills and content creation for campaigning online.

The first session looked at governance in overall, trends in Africa and the world on women in governance, why to decide to stand and knowing your constituency.

As we look forward to our next session we would like to engage with everyone on barriers that women face in the political space. Lets discuss in our little spaces.
Road to 2024.💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💪💪

The wait is OVER!

We are left with 1 year until National Elections (2024) and we are excited to be able to contribute in our own way to this whole process. We have partnered with Democracy Works Foundation to train women in Ngamiland on digital tools they can use for campaigning, for funds management and for campaign management and in overall to make sure more women take center stage and make their voices heard in governance and politics.
