the inmate was con, was born in turkey, but raised in germany. there she married another woman, but a couple divorced and she moved back to turkey. her new partner, new right is a german turk. they both feel a certain pride in their home country as they stand for the national anthem, the . but that probably doesn't extend to how queer people have to live in turkey,

as it does with yeah, he's on it so very hush hush hair into case the the people, the women as well as the man lesbians and gay man. let's just say l g b t u, some are in fox, scott that we pass the key to by the government funded, easier to is they just don't talk about it. that's why before the last election was the ruling policy made a major issue of it saying, oh go this, this of the policy comes to power, legalize homosexuality. and we've got to prevent that on the is the only thing for the non yeah. is that what they publicly like to do is try with southern child for both and on the vice a on the yes. what pass the key to it and it's really too bad. that's just such a wonderful country. it's really just too about the fear shot elsewhere in turkey is near. it's called the city of the godless pen bay, quite like that. she grew up in a very pious family,

which wasn't always easy for her mind for music or something else on the play. somebody came from natalia and on correct. my father was very strict with 9 children and i'm the youngest. i was married off the age 14 a t h 17. are separated from him inside the house into the big, wide world. only line because i just didn't want to lift like fun. oh boy, i'd always been headstrong and have my own ideas and yeah and, and for freedom. and that's when i discovered i was a lesbian. ever since i was 17, i've been with the family, but not in the family. show me to from the just in definitely how do we are people in turkey deal with our problems? we ask to the activists that an l g b t to plus counseling, service and is mere. the organization doesn't have a sign on the door and we weren't even told the address until 10 minutes before the

meeting. f son works here. as a psychologist, they get no government support whatsoever for and foundations and and g o z finance . the service is certainly a bit more relaxed than is married because it's a very secular city. i cannot say the exact same thing when we move to like an a to william cars, or maybe even for other use it to use like is some, or it's not always face to be clear here. and it says you cannot find everybody involved in general as the entered keeper. i think maybe 10 to 15 and do you feel like distributive mainly on the base and to but also other parts of the key as

we do a consultation services we provide like lawyers and colleges. the programs here supports to people on very different how big where will things go from here for their work and the l g b t q plus community are not so full of the praise because because pressure is so much since 2015 uh before that before that you're almost big city. use the phrase as celebration. now you just go at least to get an address here. 9050. no, i wouldn't go. it's just too political. they'll be watching too closely as a single person into okay. despite my family,

i'd be to scott to kind of put some user feet on the governor of is near has prohibited l g, b, t, q plus activists from holding public events, citing morality and decency. and they a new, right, keep their private life private. they've brought us to their secluded mandarin orchard. now it's almost as mia i come from isn't. yeah. what can i say? i like my such a stuff. there's no way like home. i must. the more i is here. challenge the morals a strict to the other ones out to protect the sanctity of the family. but that's has to be a uh, you know, a sign on an item is different inside to run for holes. that's my private buy. so

nice. don't buy it on the issue. the a few years ago rainbow flags were displayed and public demonstrations. now that can get an activist arrested, but his mirror still has caches where queer people can get together. another activist youth is here to meet his colleague of son. the cafe has logan's and rainbow flags on display, quite openly. a lot. i mean, i, we, there's a lot of discrimination we're just faced by other people. huge my job to be a huge part of my life is just the ending of each 100 people. i think the year is the wrong word to express myself. best case

i am coming from the marshals to sort of to a customer at why i came here because it's like there are more people who are looking at the bigger perspective, but it's far away from my home. but i don't know why am exactly i'm blooms rather to talk to them about these kind of to sign living and other life on their i to the cafe is also a boutique store and a safe haven the streets here is um, so big. oh yes. so for most of the time during night, sometime during the testing for insurance before people are living

in the streets and uh, there's always cups here and so and or press them. it's tough to know, disturbing. and not all the time official doesn't have like official reflection. they don't use like documents and stuff. they just like people, they miss charge trans people and they're just looking at it. but looking at you parents, the people at the carpet or jones people in their virg as bugs is anything she must have done. they're not there. as a lesbian couple of pen, they a new right have already broken out of the traditional women's roles. but the fact that they're not married only makes the nasty looks even last year is, is i've so i, it's just hard to live as

a woman alone. yeah. you have to be vigilant. because that's this notion that you can't live a line, phone or half man who are just friends, man on either front, just as a bunch of tickets position. although that's not why last long. so i was or a friend visit, see what? hi, i'm the neighbors might notice. since then you get labeled to trump very, very quickly. often you start to come get into some other and when the question comes up, do you live with your family with your children, for example, is just to set me apart. it's not even about the lesbian things. i'm not interested in that they just see lesbians is provide us the yeah, you can ruin your reputation and tacky, really falls if you just like the policy you would like to go out. and again, the policies, the

pen days celebrating her birthday, why does she stay in turkey amid the ostracism and discrimination the, the duty isn't it is, but i live close to is may or is a bit different. you can have the cold to prior and still listening to music at the same time, and have a drop that says on your best, a sick 10, some people stop placing. so says maybe a few that are more comfortable on social media and tv. people are shown in a negative light on the long, i mean lots of good people in my restaurant and my circle of friends as well. and i've never had any negative experiences on someone else. but what my gay friends experience on their own, something else from the autumn, the children boomed onto the vietnam, this is,

this is the 4th is tied to the fact that it's prohibited is yet more pre fits a kind of regime we're living on the on. so now i want to live here. i enjoy life hair. it's good for me in is me and it gives the society and it's now near to and really is wonderful. it's good. that's unlike other cities in tacky. this one is much more open on is coming to i can only hope that it keeps guessing back to the, for more a ton of to choose change requests and on time was health effects. even if it doesn't look cool, that great right now was on current. come on during chief once. all the guys, he's got issues with a lot say what crazy. the

for every language that has never been set up online on facebook, the app store and youtube. the do you want a job with a real future and a well paid font? if that then tech might just be the field for you have hunters on the lookout for smart recruits to fill lucrative roles. but the house of looking for women tech has 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 example. what it might sound daunting, almost 30 percent of develop as 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 period active to z, i might be the only woman there has to be. i think it felt that sides of what is the. the 2nd reason is that we are only just starting to get young women and girls interested in tech. and this prejudiced 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. right. but the guy did you ever things up and 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 bells, 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. do you want, ok, they are using to say how wonderful it is to create with these computers that you

say put my child's mind understood and 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 is daughter. these magazines are not for you by acknowledges a man's thing. and then bill and my dad was the one giving orders and everyone had to do it. he said human 3 this i don't really sad because they had the stream for many years seem of sonya despite our 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 joe music got to let me find me in the i took responsibility for my family, which was my mother and my sister here. and then 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 started working in the i t department of the energy company and who, who is and then she the whole point for 10 years coming to work 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 or women develop 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'd gotten it the ones to 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 that put on the 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 on. if i ask you see you as an innovator in technology, and then we 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 and we must work on that in itself. but the other, like we need to change this idea that technology is a forbidden world for women. nothing, not a human one. the credit is the, what was it like for you growing up? i how do you have any female role models? but today, thanks for 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 men to 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 or take part in mentoring programs. today, rug uni does, has a team of 30 employees, many of whom are women. as someone who has cooled down to the digital platform does

strongly believes that tech can play a big role for women's progress. but she, as it is still majorly of boys club, there seems to be a massive, massive gap killed in the market. like even if i have to go to all effects phone doors, nita 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 to gather at a leap dot club event in delhi. hundreds of women who met online are meeting up to network professionally. i do not this, i was looking to connect with a lot of like minded. i think this app has been extremely beneficial 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 missed on one of them and i'm not about grade professions, which i never knew existed. for many women delete 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

who's the owner of 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 the or ring 16th globally and download speed. excess costs about 17 year rose a month. leave accounting us and it was barbara has made a career in tech. she works as a data analyst and platform developer for a european car manufacturer. leave a works from home, 40 hours a week with a monthly pay of around $2900.00 euros, almost double 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 exercise from my mind. it was covered time. so it had a lot of free time and yeah,

i thought 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 free classes. busy busy we started off in the community of women in tech and focusing mostly on women and girls. in the past couple of years, they've grown into community that is supporting inclusion and diversity in tech. it's about diversity. so every thing that we create for it's to be useful and 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 in 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 itself tracked 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 to see if we see it in the development of a i, which is often programmed by man, man. so there's often a very male view of these technological advances. and if women participate more, the product will be much better in the vast majority of cases because of the different perspectives they bring. the account. this reasons to go for a job in tech, especially for women, the opportunities of great. and it's never too late to get stuff is, what are your experiences in the field? do you feel inspired to dive into the tech world? let us know what you think, and we'll see you next time the,
