Bayelsa, Nigeria — The Girls in Tech Initiative proudly made a significant impact at The Woman’s Initiative Conference, where our Founder and Managing Director, Teresa Briseimo, served as a guest speaker. Representing Girls in Tech Initiative Bayelsa, she led powerful conversations on women empowerment, digital literacy, cyber security, and online safety.
Her message was clear and inspiring: educating women with digital skills is the strongest shield against online harassment, cyberbullying, and gender-based violence. She emphasized that knowledge transforms fear into confidence, turning women into tech-savvy warriors capable of thriving in the digital age.
The conference, organized by the Females Beyond Fear Foundation, brought together passionate women who shared stories, built connections, and strengthened networks. The atmosphere was one of impact and empowerment, as participants left with renewed determination to build a safer, smarter, and more inclusive internet for women and girls.
“To every woman and girl, the future is yours,” Briseimo declared. “Digital literacy is not just about learning skills — it’s about protecting yourself online, growing with technology, and refusing to be silenced. Education is your password to freedom, confidence, and resilience in today’s digital world.”
The Girls in Tech Initiative continues to call on the Bayelsa community and beyond to support women into tech, invest in digital education, and join the movement for a fearless digital space where women can thrive.
