Imagine a gender equal world.
A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.
A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
A world where difference is valued and celebrated.
Together we can forge women’s equality.
Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias – International Women’ Day, www.internationalwomensday.com

We’re taking part in International Women’s Day by raising awareness about women’s equality and celebrating women’s achievements.

We are aware of the biases that women face day to day, whether within a work environment or within their personal lives. At Exa we aim to support and promote women’s equality throughout our business and encourage more women to get into the tech sector.

Did you know that only 3% of women say a career in technology is their first choice? We continuously develop new activities which will contribute to raise awareness of various roles available in tech. By raising awareness we hope that more women will consider roles which are traditionally occupied by men.

Working with organisations such as Ahead Partnership and through our Exa Foundation, we have promoted careers in tech throughout the years to younger people, by involving them in digital skills activities. Last year, Alan O’Donohoe, Specialist Leader in Education at our Exa Foundation, hosted a guest panel with inspirational women from the tech industry to discuss topics relating to women in computing. Challenges and difficulties faced by women in tech are also discussed along with suggestions of what we can do to educate young people about the roles available in the industry.
