Women in repair
15th – 17th Nov 2023
The project brought together 16 women who were trained on phone and inventor repair over a specific period. The training covered various aspects of repair, including troubleshooting, disassembling, reassembling, and testing devices to ensure they were functioning correctly. The participants were also taught about safety measures to take when handling electronic devices during repair.
On the third day of the project, an exhibition was held, which was attended by 35 participants. The exhibition showcased the skills and knowledge acquired by the women during the training. Participants displayed repaired phones and inventors, demonstrating their newly acquired skills. The exhibition provided an opportunity for the trainees to interact with other professionals in the field, exchange ideas, and build networks that could lead to future collaborations.
PA's space served as the venue for the project's training and exhibition. PA's space is a well-known hub for innovation and creativity, providing a conducive environment for learning and experimentation. The space was equipped with all the necessary tools and equipment required for the training, ensuring that the participants had a hands-on experience during the training sessions.
ROG Agency's support for the project is a testament to its commitment to promoting gender equality in various sectors. By funding this initiative, ROG Agency has helped provide an opportunity for women to acquire new skills and knowledge in a field that has traditionally been dominated by men. The German government's funding of the project is also commendable as it demonstrates its recognition of the importance of empowering women economically through skills development.
