It’s day 2 of our #InternationalWomensDay 2025 Campaign, and this year, we’re using our platform to showcase initiatives that are 'Accelerating Action' for women in tech, finance & VC across the geographies we operate in. ♀ Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Code First Girls. 🎤 Code First Girls is building the world's largest community of women in tech by providing free coding education and partnering with companies globally to drive employability, diversity, and social mobility. The gender gap in tech remains severe — women make up just 26% of the workforce, with even fewer in senior roles. If unaddressed, this gap risks shaping future technologies and AI systems that lack diverse perspectives, perpetuating bias, and limiting innovation. 💡 What impact have they had so far?    • 200,000+ free coding opportunities provided • 130+ organizations hiring & upskilling diverse talent • 89% go into tech roles following the CFGdegree Since inception, they’ve seen incredible career progression stories - women with no previous tech background landing their first or second tech roles, and junior engineers getting promoted to senior positions within months. Looking ahead, Code First Girls is expanding internationally, strengthening AI & cybersecurity training, and driving industry-wide change by making hiring women in tech a business imperative. Companies, investors, and individuals can all play a role - mentoring, hiring, and investing in women creates systemic change. Time to #AccelerateAction 💜
