Closing the Gender Gap Addressing Stereotypes

One major barrier for women in tech is persistent gender stereotypes, including beliefs that technology is a "male" field. These stereotypes can discourage girls and women from pursuing tech fields or cause them to feel like outsiders once they enter. Proactive outreach, such as highlighting successful female technologists in schools and media, creating mentorship programs, and organizing coding camps for girls, can help break down these stigmas by normalizing women's presence and success in technology.
