Gender Stereotypes and Cultural Norms

Gender stereotypes and cultural norms play a significant role in the underrepresentation of women in tech leadership. From an early age, boys and girls are often encouraged to pursue interests aligning with traditional gender roles. This societal influence discourages women from pursuing STEM fields, creating a pipeline issue that extends into leadership roles. Addressing stereotypes and fostering an inclusive culture from the ground up can help break these barriers.
