Summary

To break the bias surrounding women in technology, companies can focus on retention by offering benefits and creating inclusive environments that support women's career advancement. Men also play a crucial role in breaking biases and stereotypes for women, as they can provide mentorship and advocacy to help overcome imposter syndrome. Introducing girls to coding and technology at a young age through programs like Girls Who Code can also make a significant difference in promoting female potential. Companies should prioritize diversity and inclusion by measuring performance reviews and core company values, while parents can support gender equality by introducing their daughters to non-traditional toys and activities. International Women's Day serves as a reminder of the importance of inclusivity and empowerment for women, allowing them to take control of their careers and realize their potential.
