The Limitations of Legal Measures in Addressing Implicit Bias

While legal measures can be effective in addressing overt forms of gender discrimination, they often fall short when it comes to implicit biases that pervade the tech industry.

This emphasizes the need for comprehensive strategies that include, but are not limited to, legal measures.
