ICT has made a huge contribution to women's empowerment. women living in remote and rural areas are also being benefitted by ICT and they are making their contribution to society-building and development of the country.

Why we all need women in tech. Despite of presence and contribution women has made in the industry, the numbers are staggering. This presentation by Vinita Rathi, Director Women Who Code London Chapter, Co-Founder Systango & CodePunt at Digibury Weekender talks about contribution gender diversity can make to the growth of the organisation, how and what women are good at, how motherhood can be boon for the firms they are working at and what can we be done to change.

Women have long participated in work, but their roles changed with industrialization. In colonial America, gender roles were more fluid and work was shared. The industrial era separated work and home, reducing women's social visibility. Today, over half of women work for pay, though gender biases still exist. Women face wage gaps, occupational segregation, challenges balancing work and family, and pressure from traditional gender roles. Individual choices and support systems can help maximize women's opportunities and well-being in the workplace.

A detailed Powerpoint Presentation that will enable you to understand the concept of women's empowerment in easy language and in the best possible way. I hope you will like it and kindly give your suggestion so that improvement can be made in this presentation.

Gender inequality in India systematically empowers men over women through unequal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities. This is evidenced by low female literacy rates due to perceptions that educating girls is wasteful, as well as practices like sex-selective abortion and infanticide that reflect the low status of girls. Discrimination also occurs domestically, restricting women's freedoms, decision-making power, and control over their own health and income. Further discrimination is seen in workplaces through unequal treatment and sexual harassment, and in media through gender stereotypes and idealized portrayals of women that promote body insecurity. Overall, the document outlines many forms of social, cultural, and institutional discrimination that contribute to gender inequality in India.

This document discusses the underrepresentation of women in science, engineering and technology (SET) careers in the UK. It notes that while women make up around half of graduates in relevant fields, only around a quarter work in SET occupations, costing the UK economy billions. It highlights several issues that contribute to this "leaky pipeline" including a lack of role models for girls, careers in these fields not being portrayed as interesting or rewarding, and ingrained cultures in some workplaces that cause many qualified women to leave. The document argues that increasing gender diversity in these important sectors must become a higher policy priority in order to address skills shortages and maximize economic growth.

The document provides an overview of women empowerment in India. It discusses the importance of women in society, defines key terms like gender and empowerment. It outlines the current status of women in India, their roles in various fields, and government initiatives to promote empowerment. However, it notes that despite various schemes and laws, social and economic status of women needs more improvement for desired change. The document covers women empowerment in a comprehensive manner from different perspectives.

Women remain underrepresented in corporate leadership. While women earn 57% of college degrees, they hold only 20% of senior roles. They face challenges including unequal pay, lack of support from managers, carrying a larger burden of household work, and perceiving their gender as a disadvantage. However, companies that focus on accountability, flexible work policies, and fair hiring/promotions see faster progress getting more women into management and leadership. Individual actions like calling out bias, sponsoring women, and changing biased language can also help close the gender gap.

1) The document discusses issues related to technology literacy and opportunities for women and girls. It highlights how technology exposure and visual cues can impact stereotypes. 2) Several pieces of legislation aimed at improving technology education and access for women/girls are mentioned, including the proposed Go Girl Act and current programs like Community Technology Centers. 3) The author calls for continued funding of educational programs, establishing a task force on women in technology, and increasing women's involvement in shaping technology policy and agendas.

LHBS constantly collects signs of changing behavior in culture, markets, and technology. One of the key demographics involved in these changes is young women. Through researching what is driving values and decisions– and therefore needs– of young women today, some of the most significant factors at play are perhaps found in their prevailing attitudes towards work and career. We would like to share some of our research into the work and career of young women, which explores several important trends and trajectories of this important demographic, and offers some of the implications for businesses looking to establish a working environment where young women feel not only valued, but also positively challenged.

Women still face inequality in today's society, as seen in the workplace and overall treatment. They earn only 61-65% of what men earn for the same jobs and degrees. While progress has been made, social and cultural biases persist. Potential solutions proposed are increasing women in leadership positions, educating about the benefits of equality, and ensuring equal opportunities, pay, training, and support for women and men.

The document summarizes various forms of discrimination and exploitation faced by women in Indian society throughout history, from female infanticide and child marriage to domestic violence, dowry system, and sati practice. It discusses the patriarchal social structure and religious customs that promoted gender inequality and treated women as inferior. The presentation aims to highlight how women have been oppressed in areas like inheritance, mobility, and work and calls for contributions to uplift women's status and bring happiness in their lives.

The document discusses gender discrimination and summarizes a study on the topic. It defines gender discrimination as unequal treatment based on a person's sex. It then summarizes a study by Elisabeth Kelan of gender relations in organizations, which found evidence of subtle discrimination that is difficult to recognize, such as gender fatigue. Kelan's study interviewed 26 men and women from two ICT companies and found gender discrimination still occurs but is more subtle and remedies are needed against unequal treatment so that both men and women deserve the same rights.

The document discusses the underrepresentation of women, especially women of color, in engineering and computing fields. It notes that while women make up around half the US population, they earn only around 12% of engineering degrees and 26% of computing degrees. It explores possible reasons for this disparity, such as gender socialization influencing career choices, stereotype threat hindering performance, and microaggressions creating hostile environments. Finally, it provides recommendations for creating a more equitable and inclusive classroom experience for all students.

The document discusses the Tech Museum's strategy for grant and cooperative agreements from 2008-2012. It outlines the museum's mission to inspire learning about technologies through educational programming. The strategy focuses on supporting STEM education, with priorities around underserved populations like Title 1 K-12 students, women and minorities. It discusses developing community partnerships and innovative programs to increase engagement. Regional outcomes of the museum's STEM programs are listed as aiding student mastery of science concepts, motivating pursuit of STEM careers, and providing teachers with resources and assessment tools.

The document discusses the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields and provides potential reasons and solutions. It notes that while girls take as many math and science courses in high school as boys, fewer pursue STEM degrees. It explores factors such as beliefs that intelligence is fixed, gender stereotypes that associate males with STEM, lack of female role models, and implicit biases. The document recommends teaching a growth mindset, exposing girls to successful female STEM professionals, raising awareness of implicit biases, and encouraging spatial skills development from a young age to help address the gender gap in STEM.

This document presents a thesis exploring mentorship and retention of women in STEM fields.

The purpose is to understand women's experiences in STEM and potential solutions. A literature review covers topics like gender stereotypes, career pathways, and the benefits of mentoring. The methodology section outlines a narrative study approach involving interviews with one woman in STEM. Overall, the thesis aims to gain insights into supporting greater participation of women in STEM.

DIversity Gaps in Computer Science: Exploring the Underrepresentation of Girls, Blacks, and Hispanics. Google Report 2016. The Diversity Gaps in Computer Science: Exploring the Underrepresentation of Girls, Blacks, and Hispanics report is essential given the announcement of President Obama’s bold new initiative, CS for All, in January of this year (2016). The report contains the needed focus on women, Blacks, and Hispanics — three groups that are underrepresented in computer science studies and the computing workforce. The report raises awareness about the structural and social barriers for the target groups in computer science, based upon a holistic assessment — surveying students, parents, teachers, principals, and superintendents.

This document discusses Idaho's lack of qualified technology workers despite high unemployment. While there are many job openings in computer programming and IT fields, Idaho produces very few graduates with the needed skills. The proportion of women in technology fields in Idaho is especially small. The author proposes researching the social, cultural, and economic factors that inhibit computer access and career opportunities for young women in southern Idaho in order to understand why so few pursue technology-related careers. Potential research questions examine gender differences in computer access through education and at home as well as social and cultural norms surrounding technology use.

This document discusses STEM education, which integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into the classroom. It was started in 2001 by the National Science Foundation to revolutionize math and science teaching. STEM aims to make classrooms more problem-solving and discovery-based rather than teacher-centered. It combines the four disciplines so they are not taught independently. Many STEM programs use tools like CAD and animation in high school. Supporters say STEM benefits all students by developing skills like critical thinking, teamwork, and innovation needed for future careers. However, some criticize that it may not teach all students equally. The document emphasizes the importance of STEM in preparing students for jobs of the future and keeping the U.

416. STEAM Education and The Uncommon Core This presentation will focus on the integration of STEAM educational principles into core subjects. Although our school offers a very successful Exploratory STEM class, I believe the true strength of this educational model is in its' potential to incorporate relevant project based learning and bring the Common Core Curriculum to life for every student.

This document discusses the lack of qualified technology workers in Idaho despite high unemployment. It notes that in 2009 there were 395 computer programming jobs but only 24 graduates in that field, and 929 information technology jobs but only 162 graduates. It also points out the extremely small proportion of women involved in technology fields in Idaho. The document raises questions about what social, cultural, and economic factors contribute to the lack of women studying and pursuing careers in technology in Idaho.

This document discusses issues of equality and diversity in technology. It summarizes research showing lack of diversity in tech jobs and leadership which are still predominantly held by white men. Women and minorities face barriers at various stages from education through hiring and advancement. Implicit bias and discrimination are reflected in technologies like ride-sharing and home-sharing apps. Beyond diversity initiatives, fundamental changes are needed to culture and systems to increase inclusion and representation in the tech industry.
