Day Of The Girl: Celebrating Sisterhood

Every year, on Day Of The Girl, we celebrate the power of sisterhood, and fight for a better life for girls everywhere. At Girls Who Code, we’re not just creating future technologists. Our students and alumni are also creating community and building lifelong friendships. In this male-dominated industry, we know how important it is for our students to stick together, encourage each other, and, of course, have fun.

That’s why today we want to shine a light on sisterhood. Hear from our students and alumni as they share their stories about sisterhood.

Meet Natalia, a software engineering student who found sisterhood through Girls Who Code!

Rayouf reflects on how sisterhood impacts her life as a woman in Saudi Arabia — specifically, how sisterhood is in every micro interaction she has with all the wonderful female figures in her life.

Elyse shares how social media allowed her to be her “true, weird self” and find lasting sisterhood.
