Globally and locally, women are underrepresented in positions of design leadership. Women in South Africa specifically are impacted by a of mentorship and female role models, and institutionalised gender discrimination in the workplace.
We formed She Can Do to address these disparities and to build a community that enables highly-skilled, diverse and fair design industry in South Africa.
Our community empowers and supports women at any stage in their design careers. Through events, mentoring initiatives, and most recently our training programme, we have been able to provide access to practical training and experience; and enable our members to share knowledge and skills amongst one another.
