career opportunities, but women are still under represented. they're stay tuned for shift. thanks for watching. my name is melissa chance. the dream of revolution dictates has somoza was supposed to have that changed my life. the people hoped for a sara society. i imagined we would change the world tens of thousands of messages from all over the world wanted to help reconstruct the country. this mission became the dream. it was simply a spirit of optimism where we encouraged each other. so many things were suddenly imaginable. there are the most recent and make it

a dream of revolution. dots july 20th dw, do you want a job with a real future and a well paid font? if that then take might just be the field for you, have hunters on the lookout for smart recruits to fill in lucrative roles. but the house of looking for women tech is still a male dominated field. after all, we're going to show you 3 women, which how does that status quote and one coming up today. but 1st, let's say you want to get your foot in the door. what skills might you need? right now? it's all about web software and say to base development as well as operations. so learning a programming language is a good place to stop piping javascript or java for ex apple. what it might sound

daunting. almost 30 percent of the developers. a self taught by watching tutorials on youtube, for example, a degree in computer science content, but it's no longer a must. internationally only $1.00 and $5.00 companies insist upon the college degree. so what's stopping women from guessing involved? entrepreneur and consultants? a deep i'm in your has a few ideas the. the 1st reason is the lack of role models. yeah, i mean, we have very male dominated teams in the tech industry. and as a woman, it's not very attractive to see. i might be the only woman there, so i think it's called decided what is this? the 2nd reason is that we are only just starting to get young women and girls interested in tech. and this prejudice starts in school, where boys are often presumed to be better in the technical field and girls aren't supported by the 3rd reason is that we own the employer. so i need to offer more

flexible working conditions. if we solve this will attract more women to the sector by the guy. so did you ever think that the job isn't suitable for you just because there aren't enough fema role models in that position? this is a common theme in the tech industry. we're only 5 percent of all c o's of 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 it anyway. unless you are is where she always wanted to be working in tech. a 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 study them. show this. yeah. you went up to data using to say, how wonderful it is to create with these computers. see us. that's what my child's

mind understood in those assume. but then 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. he said that everything he said to me and said, daughter, these magazines are not for you by acknowledged a man's thing. and they still, and my dad was the one getting orders and everyone had to do it. he said human 3, they don't really sad because they had the stream for many years single. sonya, despite their father's refusal, her mother secretly enrolled her and 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 got to 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 a bit. i started working in the i t department of the energy company and who, who and this year before forth. for 10 years, pamela worked there until she reconnected with andre is

a former school late and also an i t professional with whom she entered a relationship and later married pamela completed her studies together with andres. they started new be metrics. a company that provides e commerce solutions supported by artificial intelligence. today, 10 years later, the company has a presence in 1711 american countries over 9000 customers, nearly 100 employees. mother single in the policy and the 50 percent of the management at it'd be metrics are women and women make up just over the 45 percent throughout the company. the single percent of the move in the beginning. we pushed it a bit and it gave us excellent results. vocal interview. excellent. and then it became 2nd nature. the come on that know he got and if the once you level the playing field for everyone do that. but at the end, the trailblazers leave their market, it is sort of becomes a natural cycle soon. but on the 8th of jack, i'm with the no secret on the without. a ginger gap in technology remains

significant, but it is gradually narrowing. argentina leads and female participation with more than 40 percent of women in the tech workforce. say that that then the we are trying to work with role models. and let me know that i, 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 bed seemed at the name of her mother. and we always have male role models, none of them are, but we don't have female role models that come to mind immediately and east on. and we must work on that and this. but i can be like, we need to change this idea that technology is a forbidden world for women thing, not a human one. the credit, the, what was it like for you growing up? i how do you have any female role models? but today, thanks to platforms like link and or thing, i can easily network with other women and tech. another way to promote women in the

tech industry is my a social networks by women for women in india as a lead dot club is such a network for women only for co founder of any tasks. it is particularly important in the country. what conservative generals bills dominate, women just have a very different cardio boss. they have a very different uh, point of view. they have a different, a bring in. they have a very different, you know, i think maybe even though vision we need and all those clubs, we need women to support each other. we need the mental back each other up before the 2020 launch of lead club. there were hardly any professional networks for women in india. the release was a huge success. this way women can network online, get further training for take part in mentoring programs. today, rug uni does, has a team of 30 employees, many of whom are women. as someone who is well founded,

a digital platform does strongly believes that tech can play a big role for women's progress. but she, as it is still majorly a boys club, there seems to be a massive, massive gap killed in the market. like even if i have to go to a or tech found was meta, i will be unfortunately, one of the very few women in the room. we need to invest a lot more in women and tax rog, you need believes the app has become the medium to bring women together at a leave dot club event in delhi. hundreds of women who met online are meeting up to network professionally. i do not is i was looking to connect with a lot of like minded. i think this app has been exceeding you beneficent. in that sense, i have made an oral phone, does a lot of investment banker as an oil saw indeed, or does i not people, you know, mean somebody walks of life so it has to be no confidence booster. definitely. so

app has been a great platform to make them professional networking. i've met some wonderful women and not about great professions, which i've never knew existed. for many women delete dug club has become an important instrument for finding allies in their professional life. and that's far affect if thoughtful was $1500.00 women together, the data networking and support a one thing true equality in terms of pay is another. even in 2023 women and the tech sector, us still earning an average of 10 percent less than men. the agenda pick up is slowly shrinking, but why women get less money for the same work as men is beyond me. what's attractive about the tech industry is that many jobs can be done remotely. that office flexibility and independence and contrast to many of the sectors. the as far as a small town,

2 hours from luckiest capital rica, not exactly a tech industry hub whose bar is mostly known for its agriculture. but the optimal internet connection here is stable and fast. not b, o. ring. 16 globally and download speed access costs. about 17 year rose a month. leave accounting us and barbara has made a career in tech. she works as a data analyst and platform developer for a european car. manufactured lever works from home, 40 hours a week with a monthly pay of around $2900.00 euros, almost doubled the national average. all she needs for her work is a laptop for her design work. she uses power b. i. power automates power pages and kind of the, the, the initial thought was just to have like ex, assess from my mind. it was covered time, so it would have a lot of free time. and yeah, so if nowadays,

like kids get taught coding. so i can probably do it, leave a tell me know, learned how to code with re good ted girls and n g o that offers 3 classes. busy busy busy we started off in the community of women intact and focusing mostly on women and girls. in the past couple of years we've grown into community that is supporting inclusion and diversity in tech. it's about diversity. so every thing that we create a sore, it's to be useful and um, just a good solution for everyone in this to be created by people who are, who have a diverse experiences we've uh, initially wanted to work as a user interface designer. but then she got a job and a different field. as

a specialist for data visualization, she saw the advice from the rica tech girls, the ashland manta. what do i do? and she gave me really good advice. she said, visualization that's, that's design, right? that's not just they tell numbers and coding whatever that's design so you can actually combine if you like, of the mos poss also and the design poss. yeah. it's it. subtract it for the 1st time, extra weight in my life. a positive working environment, chris, it's arriving atmosphere for employee and employer women and the tech industry important. and the tech watkins benefit from diversity a lot in the future. we're going to see there are many studies that show diversity and teams leads to better results. doctors and women have been under represented in

technology for a long time. the thing that we see it in the development of a i, which is often programmed by man on d, w. we are all set and we're watching closely in to bring you the story behind the news. we rolled about unbiased information for 3 months. the su fee was born in the body of a boy, but the ginger she was assigned to earth, never felt right. as i started feeling something was wrong as a child in the human that got much worse and keep it takes 3. and then once i left home, i made the decision i'm fee now spend the old name their number cuz they have not

get the best map. we are accompanying the 13 year old on her journey to her new self. look, almost 16 is trans. he experienced a.
