EveryGirl Everywhere

EveryGirl Everywhere is a Romanian initiative, promoted by Smart Everything Everywhere with partner Fondación Ronsel, that aims to bring more girls and women of all ages into the digital workforce and reduce the gender gap in Romania's IT sector. It is documented as a "good practice" in the Interreg Europe catalogue and operates at national scale from Bucharest.

The practice sets out three objectives: promoting digital skills for women while challenging stereotypes, growing the IT industry and workforce by building routes into digital careers, and building Romania's leverage within the EU by exporting replicable good practices on closing the digital gender gap.

Its central action is the "EveryGirl Caravan," a series of meetings and events supported by the IT industry that showcase local role models and build communities supporting girls and women in tech. It also works through the EveryGirl Alliance, a national multi-stakeholder coalition, to organise coding events, hackathons, training and professional-reconversion programmes.

The practice frames itself as both a moral and an efficiency imperative to prevent a widening digital gender divide, with a stated financial model based on private funding (an estimated launch investment of 200k€ in Bucharest and 500k€ to expand into two further cities), though no participation or outcome figures are reported in the source material.
