HDC Holds Inspiring Event With Partners In Honour of International Women's Day

To mark International Women's Day, the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) together with the Ministry of Gender, Family and Social Services and Women in Tech Maldives hosted special celebrations. This year’s theme for Women’s Day was ‘DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality’. Aligning with this theme, Women in Tech Maldives hosted the ‘Women United: DigitAll’ event at Farukolhufushi in collaboration with HDC and Gender Ministry. The event paved way for numerous networking opportunities and saw interesting panel discussions.

The event provided a great opportunity for women who are interested in and want to pursue careers in technology fields by interacting with key leading players in the field in the Maldives. Through this event, the organizers aimed to inform and provide more opportunities for women in technology-related fields and increase women’s participation in such areas.  Through this event, many inspiring women came together under one roof to discuss the struggles women face due to digital illiteracy and the importance of bridging the gender gap in the digital world.

The event was conducted with a networking dinner night in commemoration of International Women’s Day as well. The event marked the first-ever networking event for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) working towards gender equality, promoting women’s rights & causes related to women in the Maldives.
