In my mind and I suspect many others, a woman in tech is someone who codes or programmes, who understands the Domain Name System on a highly complex level or works elbow-deep in data and algorithms.<\/p>\n<p>Consider my colleague\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nominet.uk\/gchq-thats-sounds-cool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cath Goulding<\/a>, Nominet\u2019s CISO. She\u2019s an expert in cyber security and has worked at GCHQ, operating at the highest level of network security for the past decade. She has a maths degree and a Masters in Computer Human Interaction. Can we both be women in tech? Is there some sort of spectrum for this label? And if the term is so broad, is it still useful?<\/p>\n<h4>Defining the purpose of \u2018woman in tech\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>Finding an accurate \u2013 or even the original \u2013 definition of the term \u2018woman in tech\u2019 is hard. Some who conduct\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/careers\/2020\/jan\/02\/ten-years-on-why-are-there-still-so-few-women-in-tech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research<\/a>\u00a0are classing these as women considered \u2018IT specialists\u2019 while others are counting the number of women working in technology industries; the latter would include me while the former would include Cath. There are many \u2018non technical\u2019 women working in this industry without the stereotypical advanced technical skills that we often assume are required\u2026 Do we still count? Or does the label simply leave us feeling slightly inadequate among our peers?<\/p>\n<p>One way to answer these questions is to step back and assess the purpose of the label. We group and differentiate this specific demographic for a number of reasons: it\u2019s a useful shorthand for the media, it\u2019s a means of creating support networks for those working in a male-dominated sector, and it helps to draw attention to a rare species as a means of changing the status quo.<\/p>\n<p>Labels can be restrictive, but this one intends to inspire and empower, separating a group as a means of celebrating what they (we?) do to hopefully turn the tide when it comes to gender disparity in the tech industry. The research has shown us that youngsters need visible role models and access to information about the opportunities that are available to them from an early age. Plus Nominet\u2019s research showed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nominet.uk\/british-parents-steering-daughters-away-from-tech-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">evidence of parental influence<\/a>, with too many parents believing incorrectly that technical roles are \u2018for boys\u2019. Teachers can also sometimes lack understanding of the rapidly changing industry and the interesting new roles becoming available. In fairness to hard-working teachers, how can they suggest career options when they are removed from the current jobs market and may have never worked in technology?<\/p>\n<p>There is also evidence that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/10\/01\/well\/family\/confidence-gap-teen-girls-tips-parents.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">girls\u2019 confidence drops off<\/a>\u00a0pre-puberty, before increasingly associating the \u2018harder\u2019 subjects \u2013 often including STEM topics \u2013 as better suited to boys. I can agree if only anecdotally; so many of the technical women we have at Nominet came from all-girls secondary schools and were unaware of the stereotyping of certain subjects and careers. Our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nominet.uk\/i-love-the-logic-of-programming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Analyst Developer Jo Griffiths<\/a>\u00a0is one such example, not realising computing would be a male-dominated realm until she arrived at university. When she joined Nominet in 2006, it was in a team that had just three women and 30 men. Today, she is one of four women in a team of seven \u2013 a much more satisfying ratio, although unfortunately not repeated in some of our other tech teams.<\/p>\n<h4>Making the label work for those who need it<\/h4>\n<p>What matters, then, is changing society\u2019s expectations and the community pressures that are seeing our young generation making life-limiting decisions at an early age. This can only be achieved by drawing attention to women in tech, sharing their stories, and creating accessible role models to persuade a girl, and those who influence her, that technology has a place for someone like her. A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.co.uk\/who-we-are\/women-in-technology\/time-to-close-the-gender-gap.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PwC report<\/a>\u00a0found that 78% of young woman couldn\u2019t name a famous female working in tech. In that case, perhaps the exact definition of \u2018woman in tech\u2019 is irrelevant \u2013 what matters is raising awareness and giving girls the role models they need.<\/p>\n<p>It could also be argued that almost all businesses can be classed as tech companies today. With digital devices, communication and networks underpinning everything we do, almost all jobs require a level of digital proficiency, after all. Drawing attention to this helps normalise technology and therefore persuade young people that gaining digital skills is as crucial as learning to read and write.<\/p>\n<h4>Pulling together to scale the mountain<\/h4>\n<p>The scale of this particular challenge can\u2019t be overstated. A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/essential-digital-skills-framework\/essential-digital-skills-framework\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Government report from 2018<\/a>\u00a0found that over 11 million people across the UK lack the full basic digital skills seen now as essential to living and working today. Over 4 million have no digital skills at all \u2013 and over 5 million of adults in work are without the digital skills they need. If children are growing up in a household where no adult has proficiency with digital technology and devices, how will they understand the value of learning these skills for themselves? Or perhaps they lack devices and connectivity in the first place due to social circumstances or poverty. How then can they become comfortable with the digital means of accessing the world?<\/p>\n<p>We \u2018women in tech\u2019 have a role to play in preventing a girl dismissing digital proficiency as a \u2018boy\u2019s thing\u2019 and flying the flag for the diversity of rewarding roles available within our industry. It\u2019s also a way to reassure the future generation that the technology industry is broad and varied, that not all key roles are technical and that everyone\u2019s skills and interests can be catered for to allow them to thrive within this crucial industry.<\/p>\n<p>On international Girls in IT Day 2020, it\u2019s a good time for us all to focus our efforts on inspiring our girls to see the technology industry as accessible and open to them, offering a diverse and inspiring range of roles and, in doing so, tackling the stubborn lack of gender diversity in the industry in whatever small way we can.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Originally published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nominet.uk\/is-woman-in-tech-still-a-useful-label\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"btn-container\"><a class=\"btn btn-md btn-primary\" href=\"#\">More thought leadership <i class=\"far fa-caret-right\"><\/i><wbr \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t tend to think of myself as a \u2018woman in tech\u2019 despite having a leadership role at a large ccTLD registry that\u2019s part of the UK\u2019s critical national infrastructure \u2013 I don\u2019t really feel like a technical individual.
