The Global Programme on Cybercrime in its fight against online crime recognizes the importance of female representation and in 2021, launched a professional networking group for women involved in the digital sector in Africa called the UNODC Africa Women in Cyber Networking Group. It consists of monthly online group meetings where women in cyber professions present and share their experiences with other women in the cyber sector called 'Africa Cyber Café'.
Through this networking group, the UNODC Global Programme on Cybercrime also developed a series of professional coaching sessions called 'Cyber Diva Bootcamp'. In these coaching sessions, the Global Programme on Cybercrime hopes to strengthen the leadership and skills of women professionals in the cyber sector in Africa.
