The theme behind IWD this year is #ProgressNotPerfection,

In line with the theme, the Women Techmaker sessions by Google featured inspiring women speakers who shared stories on how they resolved roadblocks in their lives and careers

As well as networking events, which enabled women participants to connect with more people in the industry and forge new opportunities.

Farhan S. Qureshi, Google Regional Director for Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka said:

“At Google, we actively work to recognise the achievements of women in tech, and inspire more women in Pakistan to embark on a tech career.

The Women Techmakers ambassadors have done an amazing job this year to organize meaningful and helpful programmes for the women developer community,

And we look forward to seeing more women in tech step up to become role models for other women.”

A Google Trained Women Developers Hira Tariq, a WTM Ambassador in Karachi, said:

“Based on feedback, the Women Techmakers sessions brought a lot of positive energy to the women communities

And gave many women the confidence to overcome obstacles in their own journeys.

Aligned with the theme of #ProgressNotPerfection, we have hopefully helped spread the message that it is okay for women to fail

And that we should celebrate the incremental successes we make for the women community.”

Since 2013, Google has hosted thousands of Women Techmakers events across 75+ countries in honor of IWD.

The mission is to build a world where all women can thrive in tech, and through the events, we help provide visibility, community, and resources for women in tech
