to be better in the technical field and girls aren't supported by the 3rd reason is that we on the employer. so i need to offer more flexible working conditions. if we solve this will attract more women to the sector, right, but the guy said, can, did you ever things up and job isn't suitable for you just because there aren't enough female role models in that position? this is a common theme in the tech industry. we're only 5 percent of all c o as a female to this day, women on encourage to succeed in certain areas, especially at a young age. that was the case pop. i mean, actually order from argentina. her father didn't want her to be involved with computers as a child. it's not something for girls he would say. but she did this anyway. unless you are is where she always wanted to be working in tech. her father and visit her as an accountant for the family business. but h to 9. pamela found some old computer magazines that our father kept and began to
11:19 am
study them. show this. yeah. you went ok. they added using say, how wonderful it is to create with these computers either. so what my child's mind understood and does it seem but, and i would say i want to do this move up. i say you went so i always read the magazines and my dad noticed this is of everything he said to me and said, daughter, these magazines are not for you by technology is a man's thing. and they still, and my dad was the one getting orders and everyone had to do it. he said human through this, i felt really sad because they had the stream for many years. he mcdaniels, despite their father's refusal, her mother secretly enrolled her in university. so she could study computer science, the journey was not easy. as a few years later, the family business went bankrupt and her father left jo, music gotta let me find me in the i took responsibility for my family, which was my mother in my sister's here in my 2 brothers who were studying in cordova. and so i had to drop out of college in order to work the way that i

the commune that low he got and if the once you level the playing field for everyone you up. but at the end, the trailblazers leave their market, it is the sort of becomes a match will cycle soon. but on the 8th of jack, i'm with the know seek, learned that the, the gender gap and technology remains significant. but it is gradually narrowing. argentina leads and female participation with more than 40 percent of women in the tech workforce. so that, that at the end of that the, we're trying to work with role models and let me know that on. if i ask you see you as an innovator in technology, and then you might say steve jobs or mark sucker burke, the jobs or media mux, who can embed simply at the name of one moment. we always have male role models for the month, but we don't have female role models that come to mind immediately. hang on east, and we must work on that. and this can be of them that we need to change this idea that technology is a forbidden world for women thing, not a human. and one of the credit the what was it like for you
