Inclusive tech and women
summary
Panel gives concrete fixes: early-school bias removes electronics from girls’ curricula; maternity gaps cost about 1.5 years of career time unless upskilling and return-to-work training is funded; private firms already hire and train—hired five women into hydropower tech and taught tech to female prisoners for 11 years with products exported to Singapore/USA; Sri Lanka has 72% female university intake yet no data protection law, low visibility of role models, and calls for reward‑based incentives for inclusive LLMs rather than only penalties.
