“RIGA COMM 2025” Women in Tech Conference / Dra. Msc. Tatiana Buelvas, Founder, AuthentiKU
summary
Argues that a hierarchy of knowledge steers which professions pay and who gets included, cites Europe figures: women 50% of population but ~20% in ICT, McKinsey snapshot with 46% in product roles, 30% in data, and as low as 8% in cloud/compute ops, and harassment surveys showing ~20% men and up to 54% women reporting workplace sexual harassment. Recommends an anti‑harassment roadmap, enforceable policies, intentional allyship and sponsorship vs mentorship (grow sponsors as much as skills), plus right to disconnect, flexibility and mental health supports.
