Girl Power: The Culture of Empowering Women in Estonia

Story/Video posted April 24, 2023 in International Reporting In Estonia by Centre County Report, Hannah Markovich.

Estonians were inspired when Kaja Kallas was elected as the country's first woman Prime Minister in 2021. This empowerment movement influenced young women to take on more leadership positions in government and technology roles. The "HK Unicorn Squad" is a non-profit created to teach technology skills and applications, with one specific requirement - only girls are allowed. Hannah Markovich reports.
