To summarise all of our efforts, we identified the issue of gender inequality in the workplace as well as the wage-gap between the two genders in the technology sector. Electrohootendo, our coalition of corporations, then formulated a plan to counter this issue by pitching a partnership with BC Tech Association in order to make this an industry wide change. Through this initiative, our corporations hope to reduce the imbalance of the genders in the workplace and to empower more women, especially the younger generation to interact more with technology and become more adept at it.
Our call to action to our readers is to actively strive for inclusivity, equality and diversity in every industry. Equal opportunity should be normalised, not something we have to fight for. We also aim is to make ‘Women in Tech Day’ an industry norm starting with British Columbia and then slowly see it progress to other parts of Canada. We hope that through this campaign, everyone in the tech industry will regard this issue as highly as we do and work towards creating a more diverse community in the workplace, which welcomes people from all walks of life to come and work in the technological sector.
