The world is faced with challenges of an unprecedented nature -- and it is women who are answering the call. That was the genesis of Call for Code, a global initiative that invites innovators to build solutions that take on society's most pressing issues.

 

In partnership with IBM, The Female Quotient created a five-part series of the Modern Guide to Equality on Call for Code. You'll meet five women who answered the call, innovators who forged new pathways, turned purpose into action, and found creative solutions to global challenges.
