Despite making up nearly half of the global population, women remain underrepresented in technology—holding just 28% of STEM jobs, 22% of AI roles, and only 16% of senior tech positions. To close this gap, tech firms must take deliberate action: invest in education and mentorship, promote equitable hiring practices, and foster inclusive workplaces with clear paths for advancement. By doing so, the industry can unlock diverse perspectives, drive innovation, and move meaningfully toward gender parity.
