Understanding the Roots Society and the Digital Gender Gap

The societal perceptions that women are less suited for or less interested in technology contribute significantly to the digital gender gap. Stereotypes and cultural norms discourage girls from pursuing STEM education and careers from an early age, leading to their underrepresentation in the tech world. To combat this, we can start by promoting gender-neutral, or even women-focused, STEM educational programs from the earliest levels of education, encouraging girls to explore and excel in these fields without bias.
