EMPOWERING WOMEN IN TECH

A World Bank report reveals that women represent less than a third of
the global tech workforce and are often in the minority at major tech
companies. Analysts believe empowering women in Africa’s tech sector can
significantly benefit their communities, as women are equally capable
of leading technological advancements.
The gender gap in STEM is particularly troubling in Africa, with women
representing around 4%. In Ghana, Eugenia Boadi, author and founder of
StemSheCan aims to change this by empowering young women to pursue
careers in tech from an early age. Earlier, I spoke to Eugenia about
what International Women’s Day means for women in tech.
