Empowering Women, Driving Innovation: Celebrating International Women’s Day 2025 with SofNet Africa
Every year on March 8th, the world comes together to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD), recognizing the achievements of women across various fields and advocating for gender equality. This year, SofNet Africa is proud to join the global movement in honoring the contributions of women in technology, business, and leadership under the theme “Inspire Inclusion”.
Breaking Barriers, Creating Opportunities
Women have been at the forefront of technological advancements, innovation, and entrepreneurship, yet many still face significant barriers to entry and growth.

Through mentorship, skills development, and networking opportunities, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where women can thrive and lead.
