CodeWomen

Last summer, while attending a #networking event hosted by CodeWomen+, I learnt about some of the initiatives the organisation is involved with. As a result, I was able to finally start learning a language I've long had an interest in. And nope, it's not #Python o #Java. In fact, the language I'm learning is even older than #C - it's Arabic! As well as building a community of women+ and supporting #DEI in the tech sector, #CodeWomenPlus works alongside the Open Cultural Center (OCC) to provide free language classes for refugees and migrants, and for paid members like myself. For a donation of just 20€ a month, I have access to their online teacher-led classes, which include Spanish, Catalan, English, and Arabic. And so, since January, I've been learning Arabic with the help of my lovely teacher Maher. If you're interested in joining the class, our A1 group just started the spring term schedule today so it's the perfect time to give something new a try! Here's the link to sign up: https://lnkd.in/d2amGYWQ #LanguageLab #Learning #Arabic #LearningIsFun

🚨 Did you know that car crash-test dummies are based on male bodies, making women 71% more likely to be injured in accidents? Data-driven decisions shape our modern world, but the data behind them is often male-dominated, creating a “Default Male” bias that significantly impacts women’s lives. From mobile phone keyboards designed for larger male hands to AI hiring algorithms that disadvantage women and marginalized groups, gender and racial biases are deeply embedded in technology. 🖥 Dr. Joy Buolamwini’s research highlights how AI bias extends beyond the tech industry, influencing policies and reinforcing societal inequalities. However, efforts are underway to close the gender data gap. New strategies going from policy changes and regulations to more inclusive data collection methods, aim to ensure that data truly represents everyone, not just the default male. 🌱 Closing the gender data gap means building a future that works for all.
