Women’s participation in ICT is very low although the sector has immense potential for female employment, experts said yesterday.

“This is the sector where women’s participation needs to be increased and we need to start working from school level,” said Samira Zuberi Himika, Vice President of Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS ).

At the same time, women’s participation must be increased at the policy-making level, their social conditions must be improved and gender discrimination in the workplace must be eliminated, she added.

For this, it is necessary to improve the skills of women in information technology, she added.

She was speaking at a panel discussion titled “Using ICTs to Empower Women in Today’s World” hosted by the BASIS Women’s Forum at the trade body’s office.

The participants highlighted the activities of the BASIS Women’s Forum aimed at increasing the participation of women in the information technology sector in Bangladesh.

The participation of women in IT education and their career prospects and challenges, their participation in IT professions and trade policy making and how to inspire other women were also discussed during the panel discussion, as well as sharing the success stories of female IT entrepreneurs.
