Parce que les professionnels du yoga ont mis en place des protocoles sanitaires strictes, coûteuses et complexes pour éviter la contamination
Tackling stereotypes, targeting education and female representation in tech, developing mentoring programs, they work closely with women to make them succeed within the industry but also with companies to help them improve their gender diversity.
In the long way to reduce gender imbalance within the technical workforce, non-profit organizations like @WomenWhoCode, @CodeLikeaGirl, @BlackGirlsCode and @AAUW are making huge differences.
Mentoring contributes to prevent the feeling of isolation among young female engineers, and, for @ForbesLeaders, flexible work arrangements are also key to solving the brain drain issue and the lack of senior-level women in tech.
Stereotypes about girls’s abilities in math discourage them to aspire STEEM careers: they hold themselves to higher standards than boys and believe they have to be exceptional to succeed in STEEM fields.
“The future successes of women in coding and in all technology fields require that girls are confident that there is space for them in STEM classrooms” yet “boys are more likely to take engineering and computer science than their female counterparts”
« We need more women in tech in order to get more women in tech » - @LilianaCaraca, but “We can’t have women who code if we don’t have girls who code” - @nirushika
Almost 10 years later, that trend didn’t changed very much: women still represent only a small minority of working engineers and “Why so few?” remains relevant.
In a 2010 report, entitled “Why so few?”, @AAUW tried to find out why, while women are increasingly prominent in fields like medicine, law or business, so few of them are becoming scientists or engineers.
With a more diverse workforce, technological products services and solutions, are likely to be better designed and to represent all users. To increase diversity, we need more women in technical fields.
