Women have represented a growing minority in tech, from 7% to 27% in the past 50 years. As discovered in the study, they still encounter inequity compared to their male peers on multiple levels, which has to change. Today, it’s vital that women are given the opportunities, training, and resources traditionally offered to their male counterparts.
Through better understanding and advocacy, I personally encourage women to pursue and advance their tech-related careers by providing opportunities to upskill, build confidence, and reach their personal and professional goals.
