ChicasTIC is a group of professional women, from the ICT Sector, that came together to have visibility, to network and to help other women to be self-confident and promoted.
We are engineers, lawyers, accountants, internationalists, journalists, etc. From public and private sector, and civil society.
We get together at least once a month, both to meet and to discuss on a given topic, related to the sector/career. We've started as group of a few friends and now we are more than 300 women connected through different digital tools in Argentina and Latin America.
The aim of the group (project) is to meet physically, at least once a month, to discuss on a special topic, related to the ICT Sector, proposed and selected by all of us, and to getting together and networking.
We've realized that, due to our "other" responsibilities as women (house, children, pets, and even because we "have" to be nice and pretty) women do not dedicate enough time to get together and network, as men do. And we've also realized these is the only way to be visible, known and promoted in our career.
After only some months we've achieved:
- a group on LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Twitter with more than 300 members from Latin America, and friends from other Regions.
- participation and visibility in several events in the Region (CLT2019, CITEL, ITU Seminars, Futurecom, etc.)
- being Knowledge Partners at CLT2019
- being known through publications in the region
- organizing physical meetings in other countries than Argentina, in the occasion of regional and/or international meetings taking place there
Now we are focusing on developing our own tools, in a more formal way, this is a webpage were to have all relevant information published, and a communication strategy to share our experience with women from other countries and regions.
We are looking forward to becoming more and more professional women who are recognized in their jobs, and who are equally promoted to leading roles and equally paid.

Since we always gather with the excuse of and ICT topic (telecom, mobiles, satellites, Internet, social networks, etc.) we are always promoting the Information Society and it's Lines of Action. Each of us work in a different area, we come both from the public and the private sector, as well as from the civil society. We address topics such as connectivity, smart cities, Internet, social networks. We also have members who attend international organization meetings so we are always aware of the discussions and topics being addressed at that level. We aim to promote professional women, being educated on new technologies and trends, and we think that having visibility also helps young women and girls to identify possible leading roles in society.
