Our mission statement:
Our mission is to celebrate women at every stage of their technology journey. We're creating a network to enable women to share their experiences, advice, and raise awareness of challenges we are yet to overcome. It is too common for women to feel isolated within this industry, and we're building the foundations to provide women with a platform they can rely on.
Whether you're an apprentice, a manager, a woman, or a man - you have a part to play in helping us tackle the gender diversity deficit. Our goal is that one day soon, this campaign will no longer be necessary.
"Challenge the status quo in the belief that your abilities and uniqueness will be able to make a difference"
Jenny Duffy – penetration tester and head of talent at Pentest People – describes the obstacles she overcame to get into cyber security and what drives her mad about employers saying they can’t find good cyber security people.
"Allyship is vital in supporting and developing women working in technology"
Turning lemons into lemonade to support the next generation of female technologists
"Lack of confidence, plus the misconception that to work for a tech company you have to be able to be extremely technical, hinders the number of women in the tech industry."
The extra flexibility from remote working was meant to make the tech sector more attractive to women - but we're still haunted by the spectre of presenteeism
Both companies recognise the importance of celebrating female success
Don't miss out on opportunities because of imposter syndrome - believe in yourself
Businesses must define policies to support their diversity goals at every stage of employees' careers
Low numbers of female mentors and role models becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in IT, turning women off from starting in the sector. That's not good enough
