Over the past 10 years, the number of jobs in the technology sector has increased 95% in Brazil, according to a study published by the Federation of Commerce, Services and Tourism of the São Paulo State.
Despite the high demand, Women’s participation Remains low: less than 20% of positions in the technology sector in Brazil are occupied by women. According to the Women in Technology, when they consider management positions of all of Latin America, they hold less than 30%.
This scenario reflects challenges such as technical training, lack of representation and invisible barriers that perpetuate gender inequalities in the sector. To help transform this reality, companies like Cirion TechnologiesOne of the main providers of digital infrastructure and technologies has developed strategies to preserve and qualify talents so that more women occupy positions that are mainly occupied by men.
