Women in Tech Hackathon
About This Event
Access to justice and civic participation shouldn’t depend on owning a smartphone. Join Africa’s Talking Women in Tech Nairobi for an exciting hackathon focused on Legal and Policy Advocacy! This hackathon focuses on tools that make legal information, advocacy, and accountability reachable for everyone through Africa’s Talking channels.
Access to justice and rights information is uneven across the continent, and the people who most need legal help are often those least able to reach a lawyer or navigate official processes. A simple, private channel can be the difference between knowing your rights and not.
Participants can build rights-education flows, legal-aid hotlines, case and document tracking, anonymous reporting, and advocacy mobilisation. The brief is wide: make law and policy more transparent, navigable, and reachable for ordinary people using Africa’s Talking APIs (SMS, USSD, Voice, Airtime and Data, Insights, Chat and more).
