In celebration of International Women’s Day, She Codes Too, in collaboration with Google’s Women Techmakers, hosted an inspiring virtual panel spotlighting women in tech from Iraq and the region.

The event featured a dynamic lineup of speakers Marah, Hajar, Ayah, and Afyaa who shared their personal journeys into the technology sector. From launching careers in game development and software engineering to navigating the challenges of entering the field, each speaker offered honest insights into what it takes to build a successful path in tech.

The session, attended by a wide audience of aspiring and early-career technologists, opened space for candid conversations around resilience, career growth, and community support. Participants were encouraged to engage with the speakers and reflect on the stories and advice shared.

The event was part of a global series led by Google’s Women Techmakers initiative, which works to build visibility and resources for women in technology around the world. Through this partnership, She Codes Too continues to create inclusive spaces for Iraqi women to connect, learn, and grow in their tech journeys.

The team extends its heartfelt thanks to all the speakers for generously sharing their time and stories, and to everyone who attended and contributed to the vibrant discussion.
