#SheInspires: Champion Women Forging Innovation Through Tech & Digital Advancement
Zoom - Virtual Event
With the rising demand for new technology, there is a significant need for women to be better supported in pursuing a career in technology.
Educators, businesses and individual mindsets must be broadened if barriers are going to be broken, stereotypes challenged and obstacles overcome regarding women’s participation in and contribution to innovation.
We need more coding clubs in schools. We need more female role models and mentors. We need to overcome gender bias in the workplace.
Companies also need to provide more flexible working for women, such as programmes to support women returners or better maternity leave policies.
We need more women in technology. Period.

#SheInspires: How do you empower the women in your life?
Zoom - Virtual Event
A gender equal society needs empowered women and girls who take control of their lives, make their own decisions, and succeed in their chosen pursuits.
According to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2020, at the current rate of change, gender parity will not be attained for another 99.5 years.
We need more our world and company leaders play an integral role in forging the path toward change, but it's also up to each and every one of us to get involved - and there is no action too small to get started.
We need to challenge the status quo by raising awareness against bias, celebrating women's achievement and taking action for equality. Period.
