There's a DEI Crisis in STEM. As a consultant who works primarily with tech clients, I’m deeply invested in the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Recently, the closures of key organizations like Girls in Tech, Women Who Code, and Code Nation have highlighted a silent crisis that we cannot ignore. These organizations were vital in providing support, mentorship, and resources to women and minorities in STEM. Their absence leaves a void that underscores the persistent challenges we face in achieving true diversity and inclusion. In my latest article, I delve into: • The systemic issues contributing to the shutdowns • The cultural and financial barriers women in STEM encounter • The broader implications of a lack of diversity in our industry I also discuss actionable steps we can take to support existing DEI initiatives and create a more inclusive environment. It’s time for us to take a stand and ensure that the tech field benefits from the diverse perspectives and talents of everyone. Let’s work together to make a difference. 🌍✨ Read the full article here: Why We Lost Girls in Tech, Women Who Code, and Code Nation: The Silent DEI Crisis in STEM #DEI #WomenInSTEM #TechDiversity #Inclusion #STEM #Innovation #DiversityMatters #WomenWhoCode #GirlsInTech #CodeNation
