Woman as the Face of Digital

Though the revolution in industries and mankind is purely evident, the gender stereotypes and social norms still expect women to look after their homes, and this social bias against businesswomen is deep-rooted and exists at almost every front of society, be it family, institutions, or bureaucracy. It doesn’t matter if they are handling a huge enterprise or venturing into a startup. Juggling between home and businesses gets more challenging when they don’t get the much-needed family support. However, we are witnessing a skinny shift to this social bias today and the societal expectation towards woman to hold on to the home and family is gradually shifting towards woman holding an occupation while taking care of both home and office. And the role of women in the society started evolving, owing to the revolutions.

The Digital Revolution

The digital revolution bought immense potential to improve social and economic outcomes for women. Yet, after several important initiatives, a significant digital gender gap remains, limiting the equitable realization of the benefits of digital transformation across high-, low- and middle-income countries. Still the digital industry today is witnessing countless women jumping into the digital ecosystem changing business and technology, and making wonders. From mathematicians in the NASA space program, to early computer programmers, women are actively taking part in building the internet and transforming startups into billion-dollar companies.

With fostering entrepreneurship spirit merging with feminism, the world is witnessing unimaginable. Today, women are playing a vital role making the digital world what it is today. Though they may not always be recognized as the face of digital, the imprint of women can be seen in every part of digital business and in its profound impact on people and enterprises around the world. Today women are more inclined towards digital world and more connected, educated, empowered and recognized than ever before and navigating the changing world and making the most of their digital future.
