The real question is no longer whether women will make the digital world, but whether we will finally let them.

A word from the President

AnaddresstothewomenshapingSenegal'sdigitalfuture—andtothosewhowill.

« There is an image I can't let go of: a young girl, somewhere between Dakar and our regions, closing her laptop convinced that tech isn't meant for her. Yet she has the same curious eyes, the same sharp mind as those who will become tomorrow's engineers, developers or entrepreneurs — except no one around her ever bothered to tell her so. FESTIC was born to make that image a thing of the past, one girl at a time, one region after another. »
