In consultation with girls and young women, we highlighted challenges they may face as they begin their journey in the digital environment, and possible solutions to these challenges. Every year AYSD will work on developing solutions and ideas for lowering barriers and improving safety online for young girls in Africa.

For girls to thrive in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), they need the knowledge, support, and empowerment of their communities. When girls can safely access and explore the digital world, they can start to imagine future STEM careers, ICT education and futures in technology for themselves.
