In today's digital-first world, empowering women in technology is more than just about fairness; it is a catalyst for innovation, diverse perspectives, and industry growth.

However, fostering real inclusivity requires more than good intentions; it demands proactive steps to break down systemic barriers, challenge biases, and create equitable opportunities for all women in technology.
