The Philippines is tied with Thailand in having the highest share of women technology graduates across Southeast Asia. Representation is also increasing in business and more people are aware of the benefits of female empowerment. I am proud to see the work being done to help Filipino women access opportunities in the field of technology. In the spirit of International Women’s Day, we can certainly celebrate these achievements.
Nevertheless, challenges persist. In fast-growing fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), where women account for only 26% of job positions, and cloud computing, in which female representation is a mere 12%, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF)’s Global Gender Gap Report 2020.
