“I think that although I have always been an optimist, in many ways I am a cynic as well :) . Although I was confident that most of the participants that we had nominated for the first Train the Trainer program of the MDG3 Feminist Tech Exchange were confident, dedicated, talented, hardworking, fun-loving individuals with a strong commitment to making a difference to the society and the community, I wasn’t really sure what the take-away from this first workshop would be,” says Jehan Era about the first ever Feminist Tech Xchange in Pakistan.

From the get-go participants have been encouraged to share, to create and to be a part of the proceedings,” she continues.
