What is technology?
The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. With tech skills, one is able to provide possible solutions to the existing problems in our society.
Do tech courses or jobs belong to men only? I think not because This time round women are taking over the wheel. The tech space which is male-dominated soon will be not the same.
The percentage of women taking tech courses is increasing day by day because we as young abled ladies are unveiling our abilities and skills.
Right now in Africa alone, there is 30% of professional women in tech while the numbers are continuing to shoot.
In a bid to build a gender-balanced society, where women can have the same opportunities as men. This will help reduce discrimination even in workplaces where women are harassed either implicitly or explicitly in order to achieve either a higher position or even to maintain a job to talk of the list thing.
Thanks to all institutions working tirelessly to make sure young girls get empowered with tech skills eg. AkiraChix. Women are the key to the growth of everything, remember what a man can do a woman can do it better.
