Gender Norms Affect Representation and Participation

Across cultures, prevailing gender norms influence women's participation and inclusion in tech. For example, societies with rigid expectations about gender roles often discourage women from pursuing STEM careers, resulting in underrepresentation. Intersectional aspects, such as women of color or women with disabilities, face compounded barriers due to overlapping discriminatory norms.
