Gender and Citizenship Hackathon

The Gender and Citizenship Hackathon was an initiative of the Hacker Laboratory of the Chamber of Deputies in association with the Secretariat of the Women?s Chamber and World Bank, held in 2014 to reduce violence against women and strengthen citizen policies focused on gender through the use of technology and open data. About 165 people registered with 75 proposals. Of these, 19 were selected to participate in a development marathon in Brasilia. The proposals were selected by an Evaluation Commission composed of professionals working in gender policies, legislative processes, transparency, popular participation, accessibility, public information or web application development. Proposals are still available on github repositories.
