Open source can create more paid female coders, safety for trans women

[lillian-lemmer]

Hello, my name is Lillian Lemmer (http://about.lillian.link)! I've started one other thread here before, about Hypatia Engine! Well, it's been some time and things have really evolved! Hypatia Engine (http://engine.hypatia.software) is a project ran by Hypatia Software Organization (http://hypatia.software). Our goal is to empower vulnerable, impoverished transgender women with software engineering. We accomplish this by firstly providing programs specific to caring for women who are trans. We assign mentors who walk women through learning a language, learning to make quality open source contributions to Hypatia, overseeing their paid contributions to our projects, helping with their first open source project, finding a job, getting connections.

If you think that's pretty cool here's our donate page (it also has more info): https://hypatia.leadpages.co/donate-landing-page/
