Challenging sexism in the digital sector (360G-CR-1651834)
There is an unfairness in the tech sector with a big gender disparity, a macho culture, and negative attitudes to women. Apps for Good has built up an excellent reputation in teaching young people to code and develop ideas for apps whilst it also has very strong links with big name companies. Apps for Good is keen to pivot part of its overall strategy to ensure it works with an equal number of boys and girls in schools and colleges (the current ratio is 55/45) as well as to build up their Fellows (alumni) and Experts (people working in the digital sector) by recruiting more women into both in order to ensure positive role models for more young women to follow careers in the tech sector.
