About this talk
This talk addresses the pressing issue of the gender gap in technology, particularly within the Drupal community, highlighting statistics from DrupalCon Dublin 2016 where only 20% of attendees were women. The session explores the magnitude of this gap, why it is essential to address it, and actionable strategies to encourage women to pursue careers in tech. Speakers Anna Radulovski and Maria Totova share insights from the “Coding Girls” video survey, present empowering role models, and provide guidelines for creating an inclusive environment that supports diverse participation. Emphasizing that this discussion benefits everyone, the talk invites all attendees to contribute ideas towards building a welcoming tech community.
