With the support of UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality, Sulá Batsú Cooperative is generating opportunities in the ICT sector for young women from impoverished rural areas in Costa Rica. The main objective of Sulá Batsú is to create equal conditions for women to access technological careers, by turning young women and girls into savvy and well-rounded technological workers, through various mentorships, trainings, and events. The programme “TIC-as: Creating work and employment opportunities for women in the ICT sector” uses a four-fold strategy: conducting technology-based school projects to reduce gender stereotypes about science and technology; working with education professionals to promote information and communications technology (ICT) careers for women; encouraging ICT companies to create equal job opportunities; and supporting girl students and graduates in technology to become ICT entrepreneurs.
