We have to avoid being complacent when it comes to addressing the issue of #GenderEquality , whether it is in the world of politics, or science + tech.
We have to be ambitious, committed, and leaders have to lead the way for others to follow ~Martin Chungong #GirlsInICT

Both the #tech industry + #politics remain male bastions.

While progress is undeniable, it is slowing down, with some countries even losing ground.

Women hold only 22% of jobs in the #artificialintelligence ( #AI ) arena.
