Building on the legacy of the first CHIMEHACK in 2013 and CHIMEHACK 2 in 2015, CHIME FOR CHANGE, Global Citizen, and Facebook are hosting CHIMEHACK 3, with support from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. The two-day hackathon at Facebook’s headquarters will bring together hackers along with issue experts and non-profit leaders to create tech-driven solutions focused on gender equality. Join us as we identify ways for disruptive technology to advance solutions for reporting and eliminating violence against women. 

Winners will receive cash and in-kind prizes from our sponsors - Gucci, Facebook, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Chegg, Hearst and Enjoy.
