Thanks for coming up with this initiative of #WomenWhoTech challenge.
GENDER BIAS
Though we have reached 2021, I could still notice the bias shown on women and seen people judging the capabilities with respect to the gender they belong. I always believe that women are self reliant, strong and independent. They are capable to achieve anything they strive for and all they need is a fair chance to prove themselves. There shouldn't be any subconscious bias. Acceptance is the main key factor which would break a thin line between genders.
The change would come only when you illustrate it to people by being an example of how genders should be equally treated on same terms. Gender equality is important to educate the future generations and instill with right thoughts since their younger age. So that society takes this forward in a right direction of approval. It's achieved only when they are respected and valued equally along with encouragement they show on woman for their progress in their lives. It's a basic human right. This isn't any luxury that it should be incorporated to make lives better.
Other main obstacle I've seen is nothing but stereotypes. It still does exist in modern era. Women are given the limitations of what they are supposed to do or not do and it hinders their freedom to take their own decisions. Women should be included in all the decisions be it career, life or financial matters. Joining roles and responsibilities with respect to the gender only lowers the confidence and puts halt to their thoughts. The capabilities of a person shouldn't be judged by the gender they belong. We should work for an inclusive world together.
We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead - Michelle Obama
WOMEN IS STRENGTH
Women are the driving force. They undergo multiple roles and responsibilities throughout her life and excels in whatever she does. They are imbibed with great leadership qualities and dedicate herself unconditionally in whatever role she is in.
With all these down the lane and seeing where I'm today, I immensely feel proud to have overcome many thorns across my life and stood confident. My enduring message to women is to always love yourself and see the spark it does to you. We are special.
We need to act now and influence the system. Where there is a woman, there is a magic.
TECH JOURNEY
My journey into technology is too deeper which had engrossed since the moment I stepped into Engineering. I knew where I had to lead or born to be.
From being an Embedded Professional to going through a hard phase of Career Break. Again leaping back into the technical space was really a challenge. It led me to 1 year of bumps to reach my current spot of where I'm right now.
Career Break in Women's life is inevitable which shouldn't be determined rather see up with the potential and skills an individual has.
