All around the world, in various social norms, in some or the other form, women deny their rights to education, economic growth, and participation in politics. This inequality in gender slows down the progress of the world. Women are away from technology due to many reasons including gender bias, unequal opportunities, unequal pay for their hard work and talent, lack of guidance, and lack of women role models in the field. The technical industry is one of the industries which is growing rapidly reaching new heights and setting new goals. Climbing the career ladder in the technical industry is not so easy. But for women technologists, the path to the top is more difficult. When we compare men and women, men with a bachelor's degree earn 16% higher median wages than women. The technical industry is male-dominated, whereas women are underrepresented in technology. This is not only a societal shortage but also a workforce problem, given that there is a shortage of women's technical professionals. We should concede that women have a significant barrier between them and the technology company entries. This broken rung in the career of women puts them at a disadvantage. This becomes a reason for technical companies to hire same-gender people. People often think that women are not good at technology. Thinking that society is inside a bubble where women will stop working after marriage, and even if they continue working after marriage, they will stop after having children. We can see the variation in internet usage by different genders in which women lie far behind men, and this is true in every part and corner of this country. The Internet plays a very important role in people's lives as it helps everyone in accessing information and helps in social participation. Opportunities are never the same for men and women, and the differences in access to tools and technologies compromise the opportunities for women.
