Anyone watching the Tech Crunch hackathon last September was reminded of the glaring problems women face when working in the technology, computer science, and start-up world. Two app developers demoed an app in which a user could take pictures of themselves staring at women鈥檚 breasts. The presentation itself was met with laughter and applause from the overwhelmingly male audience, but the larger tech world was appalled: the programmers and TechCrunch apologized, and TechCruch said it would start screening apps before the onstage pitch.
Women in the tech world began to speak up, and even some who maintained that they would stay out of gender issues started to chime in. 鈥淢aking tech hospitable to women won't be easy but this much is clear: we do need to figure out how to get more women in the room,鈥� wrote Elissa Shevinsky, CEO of Glimpse, in a Business Insider article.
In the past few years, a number of organizations have been striving to make the words 鈥渨omen鈥� and 鈥渢ech鈥� refer to female accomplishments, rather than an issue of inequality. But they haven鈥檛 been without their anecdotal and institutional challenges. Here is a look at some of the roadblocks women face in these fields, and the organizations that are fighting to overcome these issues.
