A recent PwC study<\/a> found that a career in the tech industry was a first choice for just 3% of female students, and women only make up for 22% of AI professionals<\/a>. With the latest wave of companies scaling back on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, women in tech find themselves at a crossroads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this signal the end of progress made so far or a call to action? This year, the International Women\u2019s Day (March 8, 2025) theme is ‘Accelerate action for gender equality’<\/em>. And we are examining what\u2019s at stake for women in tech, how they\u2019re pushing forward despite shifting corporate priorities, and why true inclusion can\u2019t be treated as a trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenging the tech space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI entered the tech industry to challenge the outdated notion that it wasn\u2019t a space for women,\u201d says Kate Shaw, senior product manager at IPaaS company SnapLogic<\/a>. Shaw firmly believes in making a conscious effort to break down the barriers she faced. \u201cReal progress comes from actively creating opportunities, challenging biases, and ensuring technology is accessible to everyone. International Women\u2019s Day serves as a powerful reminder that we must take decisive action to empower women to lead, innovate, and shape the future of technology. There is still work to be done, and we must continue pushing forward to secure a seat at the table \u2014 not just for ourselves, but for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephanie Albertina-Wright, principal consultant at the global cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks\u2019 Unit 42 shares a similar story. “Throughout my journey as a woman in tech I\u2019ve faced challenges, from imposter syndrome to unconscious bias from a small number of individuals, where I felt I was being pre-judged or not taken seriously. But I\u2019ve also had incredible support from colleagues who recognise the value people bring to this field \u2014 regardless of their gender.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading by example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While expressing her concern on the anti-DEI movement in the US, Simone Mink, product operations lead at low-code application development platform Mendix<\/a>, called the EU Pay Transparency Directive a step in the right direction. She emphasised the importance of taking swift and decisive steps. \u201cWe need more women in tech, and leaders must lead by example to address gender imbalances. We must act now to prevent setbacks and ensure gender equality progresses. Therefore, it\u2019s crucial to hold our companies and governments accountable for advancing and safeguarding gender equality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kams Narayan, director of product management for APIM at SnapLogic<\/a> agrees. She looks at IWD as an opportunity to celebrate the resilience, talent, and leadership of women who continue to break barriers in industries traditionally seen as male-dominated. \u201cIt\u2019s also a call to action \u2014 to support, connect, inspire and uplift the next generation while honouring the women who have continually proven that talent and leadership are not defined by gender. Where talent shortages persist, we all must take an active role in mentoring and empowering more women to step forward with confidence. As Mahatma Gandhi said: ‘Be the change you want to see in the world.’\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating inclusive workplaces and breaking barriers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CFO at the workforce management platform Deputy<\/a>, Emma Seymour, pushes for creating a workplace where everyone can succeed. \u201cIWD is a celebration of progress fuelled by purpose-driven leadership. As CFO here at Deputy, I\u2019m proud to have played a role in leading our company to unicorn status – not just through financial strategy, but by championing diverse voices, fostering innovation, and shaping a culture that empowers every team member,\u201d says Seymour. \u201cWhat makes me even prouder is being part of a leadership team that is 80% women and is passionate about laying the foundations for the next generation of leaders in tech and finance. That foundation is built through action: embedding financial literacy and career development at every level, and ensuring our investments – in people, technology, and programs are creating a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to grow, thrive, and succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To encourage more young women into technology and cybersecurity, we need visible mentorship and industry engagement in schools, says Seymour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albertina-Wright adds: “It’s also beneficial to talk about the great reward schemes and packages that are often available for a career within technology and cybersecurity in particular, as these are typically very good in order to attract talent and address the industry’s significant skills gap. Programs like CyberFirst from the National Cyber Security Centre, which includes the CyberFirst girls competition, are great stepping stones for sparking that interest. This is a hugely rewarding and interesting career path with plenty of opportunities, and there are organisations who will support a path to leadership and respect the importance of a work life\/family life balance. Female leaders in this industry, although limited in numbers, are testament to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all about the balance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to accelerate action while also recognising the importance of balance and self-care, reminds Charlotte Lucy Hall, co-founder and CMO at Zinc<\/a>, a platform providing background check services for talent and HR teams. \u201cWomen carry so many responsibilities, for me it was leading a company, a first time funding round, and navigating a difficult pregnancy journey all at once – and finding time for myself was essential to succeeding through all of that\u201d, says Hall. \u201cTaking small moments for yourself can help to reset mentally and emotionally, ensuring that we can continue to show up as our best selves, whether we\u2019re leaders, partners, parents, colleagues or all in one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On her journey balancing professional success and motherhood, Grace Ensell, sales manager at Western Digital UK<\/a> says: \u201cI’m lucky to have found a balance between my job and being a mother because of supportive teammates, friends, and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo me, true equality is about creating an equitable environment where everyone has the same opportunities and responsibilities in their careers and personal lives. This is not to ignore the still existing challenges faced by women in the technology industry, especially those balancing professional success with motherhood. We still have a long way to go to achieve full gender equality, but I want to encourage everyone to take part in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Franziska Ferraz, VP of Media Owner Development EMEA at Criteo, the digital advertising company, echoes this sentiment. \u201cFierce prioritisation has become crucial, and this is where strong company values and leadership can make a real difference,” she explains. “With the flexibility and trust to perform on both fronts, this culture has enabled me to unlock opportunities and continue to grow in my role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor me, inclusive cultures aren\u2019t just \u2018nice to have\u2019 for organisations – they\u2019re vital catalysts for success. When everyone\u2019s voice is truly heard, the entire organisation thrives. My advice? Build a robust support network, both inside and outside your company, and don\u2019t be afraid to own your expertise and achievements. You\u2019ve earned your seat at the table \u2013 now claim it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
