Women are underrepresented in technology fields, with only 10% having broad knowledge in IT, SI, and CSE. WoMoz aims to address this by encouraging more women to contribute to open source through Mozilla. Launched in 2009, WoMoz seeks to increase the visibility of and number of women contributors through public speaking, empowerment, and creating awareness of open source and Mozilla. It welcomes all women, including workers, students, and housewives, and there are many ways to contribute such as localization, design, testing, and development.
