We’re so excited about the impact we’re set up to have in 2024!

Welcome to our 2023 campaign! We are marking this season of generosity with a call to support the creation of mentors for women—a vital factor in the trajectory and retention of women in the tech industry.

Our industry is characterised by a distinct and rampant lack of diversity. This we know to be painfully true. Our Girls in Tech Mentorship Program has facilitated mentor relationships for over 20,000 women worldwide, creating role models, guidance and pivotal career development where previously there was none. GivingTuesday donations will ensure this program is even bigger and better in 2024.

Girls in Tech was born out of lived experience. Our Founder Adriana Gascoigne was working at a Silicon Valley startup in the early 2000s, and noticed something wasn't right with the tech industry.

💪 The bro culture
😳 The blatant misogyny, sexism and bias
👬 The lack of diversity
🤷‍♀️ The inability for females to access support or career progression opportunities

It's getting better, but we're determined to never let the tech industry backslide.

Women in tech, we see what you're faced with. We've lived it ourselves. We care about it, and we'll always have your back.

We’re here to celebrate all wins – big and small. Comment yours below.

One step at a time.

Give us a 👋 if you joined Girls in Tech this year! And tell us where you're from below 👇

In 2022, we gained 967 new members across our 50 local chapters.

That's almost 1,000 women around the world who are now connected, empowered and supported by Girls in Tech's events and programs!

This shows us that there’s a serious appetite for education, connection and empowerment amongst our global community of women in tech. The more people who join us, the more we can do.

Thanks for being here x

Myth: You need to be rich / successful / attractive / powerful to make a difference.

You have a voice. You have powerful thoughts and ideas. It's time to speak up.
It may not always be easy to speak your mind or voice your opinion. But remember this:
You've got a global community of women backing you. Be bold, girl. Speak up.
