Tech Talent Charter: Doing It Anyway

Non-profit organisation the Tech Talent Charter (TTC has launched a campaign to tackle gender inequality in the UK tech sector, in partnership with PwC, HP, the Institute for Coding and Rankin creative agency.

The campaign, entitled ‘Doing It Anyway’ aims to encourage working-age women to consider a career in tech, and features images of women from a variety of backgrounds who have found careers in technology through inspiring, non-traditional paths.

The UK tech sector suffers from significant gender inequality, with only around 17% of tech roles being held by women. Research by HP and the Fawcett Society has shown that 45% of women in other roles would be interested in retraining into a tech role but 32% did not believe they had the right qualifications. Doing It Anyway aims to combat this bias in the sector.
