Gender Bias and Stereotyping

Gender bias and stereotyping are significant barriers that women face in the tech industry. From the outset, societal norms and expectations often discourage girls from pursuing interests in STEM. In the workplace, women may be underestimated or pigeonholed into certain roles. Overcoming these challenges requires concerted efforts in education, starting with encouraging young girls to explore tech fields and promoting female role models in tech. Additionally, companies can adopt unbiased hiring practices and provide sensitivity training to combat stereotypes.
