Tuesday, December 13th, 2011No Disconnect – a response to issues raised / Antworten auf einige Fragen
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011[English version below]
Viele Bürger haben die Mühe auf sich genommen und auf die Information über meine Einladung an Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg reagiert, mir im Rahmen unserer “Freiheit im Internet (No Disconnect)”-Strategie zuzuarbeiten: Über Twitter, durch offene Briefe sowie durch ausführliche Kommentare auf diesem Blog. Leider kann ich nicht auf jede Reaktion gesondert antworten obwohl ich alle sehr ernst nehme. Ich bin froh, dass das Internet eine so schnelle und vielfältige Rückmeldung ermöglicht und ich möchte auf demselben Wege antworten. Read the full entry

Every Woman Digital – the task for the ICT sector
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
On this International Women’s Day – the 100th – I remain frustrated, but optimistic about the role of women in Europe’s ICT sector.
I am optimistic, because I see women and organisations taking steps forward every day. And there is great interest in these issues (my tweets today on IWD have been retweeted more than any others since I started tweeting!!) But still the pace of change, in particular in the ICT sector, is slow.
So, let’s start with the positive. There are great role models everywhere.
From the brave women of Egypt – who now deserve a full role in their country’s future to European women featured in this great calendar. From the companies that have signed our Code of Best Practices for Women in ICT, to the all the women who’ve made ICT what it is: from Ada Lovelace, the very first programmer, to the women who programmed ENIAC the first computer
But we face a long battle. Generally, as this video shows, and in ICT in particular – to win for women the opportunities and recognition they deserve. And this is not just a problem for them, for us as women – this imbalance is a problem for the whole sector. The ICT sector must find a new gender balance if it wants to avoid underperformance and a huge skills shortage in coming years.
The imbalance is so obvious it is hardly to make the explanation interesting. Can anyone name a woman who set up and run their own huge ICT company? In that hall of fame, the names you think of are Jobs, Gates, the Google guys, the Skype guys, Zuckerberg and his friends. It’s time we saw a woman on that list.
That would not be an answer in itself, but it would be a sing of deep cultural change. A sign that we can do more than run networks and camps and codes – a sign that women were really included in the sector. So we have to take a very broad perspective – starting with the school system and going right through to the top of the profession. Getting and keeping women in ICT is about career progression, equal pay and balancing family and professional life. See my full speech here.
From classrooms to boardrooms to garage start-ups: my message is the same. There is no point in getting half of Europe digital. There is no place for macho nonsense in our digital future.
