Women are fighting to promote diversity and inclusion in the industry while simultaneously making substantial contributions to the field of technology.      The gender gap in education and employment is one of the biggest obstacles women in technology confront. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) degrees, which are essential for professions in technology, are less likely to be pursued by women. In addition, women encounter a variety of gender biases and preconceptions and are less likely to be employed and promoted in technology businesses.      Not with standing these obstacles, women are significantly advancing the technological field.

  Throughout history, women have made major contributions to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). They still have a low representation in these sectors, and they face several obstacles to entry and advancement.      The persistent gender stereotypes that link STEM with masculinity are one of the key causes of women's underrepresentation in STEM areas. These preconceptions may deter girls and women from enrolling in STEM programs and careers.
