Women in Technology: Why Is This Still a Taboo? Alyne
Kautnick
Technology remains a heavily male-dominated area, even after decades of
extensive efforts to promote female participation.
But women can and should have more recognition and representativeness.
None
Who are they?
Ada Lovelace She created the first algorithm in the History
of computing. For that reason, she is recurrently cited as the first programmer.
Mary Winston Jackson She was the first black female engineer
on NASA. Her story is told in the movie ‘Hidden Figures’.
Juliana Freitag Borin Ph.D. in Computer Science. She coordinates the
Android Smart Girls project, an initiative that aims to stimulate women to join the exact sciences, engineering and computing.
The numbers
In 2017, only 17% of startups have a female founder
“The biggest issue is not the number of women starting companies, but the access to capital as you move up the food chain”. Susan Lyne, co-founder of BBG Ventures
It's time for a change "We must ensure that women’s
participation in innovation is not the exception, but becomes the norm." Lakshmi Puri, UN Women Deputy Executive Director
Thank you!
