María Yolisma García From Dieste: Lack Of Women In The Tech World Deepens The Gap Between Genders

Manuela Walfenzao| 5 de septiembre de 2017

Girls who Code y Latinas in Tech son algunas iniciativas que promueven la inclusión de mujeres en esta industria

María Yolisma García, an Intern in Social Media at Dieste wrote a post in Provoke Weekly titled Women Coding Diversity, in which she warned that the small representation of women in the tech world deepens the gender gap.She said that, according to information from Muse, currently, only 5% of women spearhead their own tech startups and these women only represent 25% of the job positions in information technologies. “This lack of diversity in the tech world means that our digital experiences are being developed through a male lens, which allows some to perpetuate stereotypical female features and language” she highlighted.According to García, these gender biases are also being programmed in artificial intelligence languages that continue to confine women’s expression. However, she mentioned some initiatives that seek to close these gaps, such as Girls Who Code, which offers a platform for young women to learn about coding and growing in an environment that motivate them to think outside the box. Other more diverse ones like Black Girls Who Code and Latinas in Tech, that serve communities that are sidetracked in this field.She recommended women to plunge into tech environments dominated by men to learn and share ideas, even if it is intimidating because it can also be very stimulating. “As we continue to evolve in the technological world, we must open the door to more women. When we include diverse perspectives and experiences into how we develop new programs or apps, we can create technology that suits and benefits everyone” she concluded.
