125 Valuable Resources For Women

Women are usually not given enough educational empowerment or adequate representation in certain fields such as STEM (science, technology engineering, and mathematics). And girls are hardly motivated to pursue tough careers.  When they take up a career interest in such male-dominated careers, they often face poor treatments that will make them want to leave the companies as was seen in the case of Susan Fowler, a software engineer and many of her colleagues at UBER. Recently, some big tech firms have come under attack for repellent or detestable treatments the women who work with them receive. But this is not just happening in the tech world. There have been indications of a wide gap in the progress towards parity between men and women in different areas including educational achievement, political empowerment, economic opportunity,  health, and survival. This is based on different exercises that measure the parity of men and women in different fields.

That is not to say that some industries aren’t brimming with windows of favorable opportunities that provide high, satisfying wage and highly-mobile career directions. Only that women are mostly not allowed to reap these opportunities. If things continue this way, it will prolong a system of inequality, and also put a restriction on the amount of economic growth possible in the tech industry.

A lot of resources have, however, come into existence to support women in different career paths as the awareness of inequality has grown significantly. We have gathered many such valuable resources that advocate for women based on the path they choose.

With these valuable resources, we are optimistic that things will change and more women are going to get motivated to embark on desired careers.
