Islamabad Hackathon presentation
The document discusses ongoing gender imbalances and sexism in various areas of society. It notes that while toys, private spaces, and public spaces still promote gender divisions, language and media also reinforce sexist stereotypes. Conferences and public speaking remain male-dominated domains, and women face challenges in technical fields and leadership positions. The gender pay gap persists, and female entrepreneurs struggle more to obtain funding. However, millennials support changing gender roles, and greater activism through social media could help advance feminism. The document encourages reading, boosting children's confidence, and taking action as ways to promote gender equality.
