Women Who Code Helps Women Stay in Tech Fields

Women Who Code is an organization that boasts over 137,000 members. It supports women in tech and encourages them to stick with the field.
A recent study by the National Center for Women in Information Technology (NCWIT) revealed that women held 57% of all professional occupations, yet they held only 25% of all computing occupations. And the numbers are even lower when considering women of color; for example, Latinas and black women hold only 1% and 3% of these jobs, respectively.
Supporting women in tech is important, and The Mac Observer‘s Kelly Guimont does something similar with her volunteer work at App Camp for Girls.
