Women are users but not creators. Few women are working with hard-core programming. Women need the knowledge and skills to customise technology and adapt it to their own needs.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of women in the tech field also affects the underlying codes and algorithms. Thus, instead of technology playing an enabling role in women\u2019s lives, it makes them more vulnerable and adds digital threats to the daily threats they are exposed to.<\/p>\n<h2>Activities<\/h2>\n<p>Motoon&#8217;s activities in this project are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Noon Tech Meet-ups that build the capacity of female techies.<\/li>\n<li>School of Tech that targets university students and fresh graduates studying IT.<\/li>\n<li>Women for women tech workshops where trainers and trainees are all women.<\/li>\n<li>Events about women and technology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Approach<\/h2>\n<p>As Motoon aims to build the overall capacity of female techies, the company works to indtroduce a group of university students and fresh graduates to concepts of Open Culture, Gender and Technology. Furthermore, the approach is to connect the community of skilled female techies with civil society at large to establish the connection and knowledge of and need for female techies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox factbox-right\">\n\t\t\t\t \t<button class=\"btn btn-primary hidden visible-xs\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#factbox-donor\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapseFactBox\">\n\t\t\t\t    Donor\n\t\t\t\t  \t<span class=\"caret\"><\/span><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t  \t<div class=\"collapse dont-collapse-sm\" id=\"factbox-donor\">\n\t\t\t\t  \t<h3>Donor<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>This project is financed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dapp.dk\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danish-Arab Partnership Programme<\/a> under the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n    \n\t\t\t\t  \t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t  \t<\/div>\n<p>Motoon carries out advocacy for women&#8217;s empowerment and for bridging the gender gap in the tech field at all levels.
