Today marks International Women’s Day, a time to celebrate women's achievements while reflecting on steps to reduce inequities they face. The theme for this year's IWD is #EmbraceEquity, which refers to recognizing individual circumstances and allocating resources to reach an equal outcome. In the tech industry, significant gender gaps exist, with women making up only 27% of STEM careers and facing a pay gap of approximately 74%. These biases begin in education, where stereotypes discourage girls from pursuing math and science. To reverse these trends, it's essential to design a more equitable future, focusing on diversity and inclusion in tech. SingleStore is committed to implementing pathways for women and underrepresented groups in STEM, hosting a panel with industry leaders on the impact of AI and automation on equity and justice.
