Community · Founder
Mujeres TICs: the community I founded so no woman walks alone.
An international non-profit community that inspires, motivates, educates, and engages women and girls in tech. Born in the Dominican Republic in 2015, today we're in DR, Guatemala, and Bolivia, impacting thousands of women. Coming soon: El Salvador.
My contribution
Why I founded Mujeres TICs
As a tech engineer, I went to events and people assumed I was someone's girlfriend, not a professional. After I challenged a speaker once, he came up to me and said: why don't you give a talk and share your interest with other women?
Instead of going alone, I gathered a group of colleagues, friends, and professors to do a panel where each one shared her experience. That gesture — not going alone, going with others — is what defines Mujeres TICs to this day.
In January 2016 we officially launched the community at Microsoft Dominicana with around 30 volunteers. Today we are thousands, across four countries, with the same purpose: to support each other.

Context
Why this work matters
In DR, only 18% of university students in ICT careers are women. Just 5% of female grads earn STEM degrees, vs 28% of men.
In Bolivia, only 3 in 10 students in tech careers are women (AGETIC).
Globally, for every 6 men in the ICT workforce, there's only 1 woman.
"Community knows no borders."
