21 April 2021 Joint Statement: Spate of Hate Crime Murders - LGBTIQ+ People Say More Needs to be Done

Over the past two and half months, South Africa's LGBTIQ+ community has been rocked by a series of brutal hate crimes against its members - from KwaZulu-Natal to Gauteng, from the Eastern Cape to the Western Cape. At least six lives - that we know of - have been snuffed out in cold blood. We share here a joint statement by some of our partners calling for more to be done about these horrendous crimes!

Gender and tech education: How to improve women’s training and access opportunities to the IT industry

Report
The IT industry is still male-dominated: Only 17 percent of tech startups' employees in Germany are women. What access barriers exist for women of different backgrounds, and how can they be removed? FrauenLoop conducted a study to examine the barriers to education and the labor market for resident, migrant, and refugee women who want to work in the IT industry.
