Inspiration

Insights reveal that IT sector is one of the worst impacted fields when it comes to sexual orientation. IT field has a remarkably higher rate of sexual discrimination compared to all other industry. Being a girl is a obstacle when you want to pursue your career in technology or in any firm. It is imperative for women on a career break to reskill before attempting to get back to work. The same is true for women professionals who are not on a break — upskilling opens up avenues and gives women the confidence to pursue leadership goals.

What it does

ProWomen is a new age web app where women of all backgrounds are welcome to share their stories, organise events, participate in events organised by fellow women, apply for jobs, and learn about investments and finance management. Get inspired by fellow women who are planning to fly high, just like you. All the users are verified which makes us safe for everyone. ProWomen takes pride in empowering women to do better.

How we built it

Our web app was built using css, bootstrap, html and canva.

Challenges we ran into

Living in different areas, it was a little difficult to work together. There were many network issues as well. The hackathon was power packed with all the coding and workshops, so we felt a little short on time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Completing this website while managing college curriculum. Coordinating and working together with unknown people was a little difficult but we all made it together and are happy with the outcome!

What we learned

The most important thing we learnt was to coordinate well enough to keep the deadline. Asking for help is normal and everyone is there to help you out. We learnt how to present and include all the details. Also, we all learnt something new in technical aspects, like git, logo designing, etc.

What's next for ProWomen

We have big dreams for ProWomen!! In future, we plan to add a chat bot that will be available for guidance 24x7. We would also like to implement payment system for registering for the events. Also, it would be great if we had some celebrities and entrepreneurs to guide others.
