individual activists and advocates, recruiters, content developers,
managers, women and men in technology fields, academicians,
researchers, and students.

forefront of discussion about what can be done to correct this
lopsided gender distribution. This reference work will be an
essential guide for government professionals, students, and
researchers in the ICT field looking to develop a solution to
equalise the retention rate of women in these related fields.
