🌟 Big thanks to AND Digital for their amazing "Tech: A Better Way for Women" report! 🌟 This detailed study shows the tough challenges and great opportunities women face after the pandemic and cost of living crisis. It’s clear that these issues have hit women harder, but the tech sector offers a lot of hope. The report highlights the strength and determination of women in tech, even with the biases and obstacles they face. It’s inspiring to see more women starting tech businesses and groups that help women build tech skills. One of the best parts of the report is how much joy many women find in their tech careers. It’s great to see that almost no one wants to leave this exciting sector. By supporting, retaining, and helping women advance in tech, we can create a more inclusive, innovative, and successful industry for all. https://lnkd.in/eP2NqURu #WomenInTech #TechForGood #GenderEquality #Resilience #ANDDigital #TechReport
