Gender Bias and Stereotypes

Despite significant progress in recent years, gender bias and stereotypes continue to be major obstacles for women in the tech industry. The longstanding stereotype that men are more suited for STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) can discourage women from pursuing careers in tech and limit their opportunities for advancement. These biases can manifest in various ways, from unequal access to mentorship and networking opportunities to differential treatment by colleagues and management.
