Swazi women engineers are breaking the mold and shattering stereotypes about women’s leadership in a male-dominated field.
Last Friday and Saturday, the Embassy welcomed back the team from WomEng, a South Africa-based NGO, to help women engineers start up a local chapter. Across the world, women are underrepresented in the STEM fields and these amazing and dedicated women plan to empower young girls to pursue engineering studies and careers, provide mentoring opportunities, and network with stakeholders in Swaziland’s engineering sector.
Be on the lookout for their trademark pink hard hats! To learn more about WomEng and their campaign to reach #1MillionGirlsinSTEM, check out http://www.womeng.org/
