Intersectionality Highlights Diverse Barriers Faced by Women in Tech

Intersectionality reveals how women in tech encounter various obstacles based not only on gender but also on race, ethnicity, class, and nationality.

Recognizing these overlapping identities helps identify tailored strategies for inclusion.
