Women’s participation in digital technology and many other male-dominated sectors is low. This is because they are faced with negative stereotypes and are being denied equal opportunities to venture into those areas of endeavour.
However, in recent times, women are increasingly being encouraged to learn, participate and work alongside their male counterparts in the digital technology world, to seek out solutions to diverse human and societal challenges. Indeed, women’s contribution to technology and innovation has shown to be very vital and indispensable.
Happy International women’s day!
