Association yeso works on visiting businesses and schools to increase visibility of ordinary women in tech, runs mentorship programs and tells success stories rather than heroic outliers, and argues the pipeline problem starts very early so representation must begin in education. Claim: more women equals better products and larger talent pools; evidence: near 50/50 student gender balance but far fewer computer science graduates and many token hires that don’t change culture.
