Tech Girls Advocacy Program - TGAP


Making Girls' Voices Count

Description

The Tech Girls Advocacy Program (TGAP) targeted 100 adolescent girls with digital literacy training and built the creative skills of the girls using digital technology, media and the arts and provided a platform for girls to advocate their issues through their digital creative skills. The target group of the TGAP was unique in its focus on adolescent girls who are often a missing population in development conversations and interventions. TGAP worked to position girls to target a wide audience with advocacy for girls' issues and equip the girls to use digital technology, coding, film, photography, creative writing, and digital painting/illustration to make girls voices count.
