GSG designed a six-day bootcamp to help female freelancers in Gaza with profiles on the Upwork platform who were underperforming – either unable to get their first job or generate any income – to succeed via best practices and proper usage of the platform. She Rises is a modified version of a series of bootcamps held by GSG under the name Rise Up On Upwork.
She Rises started with an online application process which received 662 unique applicants for the bootcamp. These were filtered to 283 applicants according to the following criteria that meet the ultimate objective of She Rises:
● Motivation of applicant (this was gauged through a question included in the online application)
● Having an active account on Upwork
● Generated less than USD 100 on Upwork or did not win their first job
● Availability to participate
