International Women’s Day: Women’s journeys in tech, data and consulting

2023 marks the 47th International Women’s Day (IWD). The United Nations created IWD as a marker to recognise women’s suffrage and the journey to equality that women have been on in the last century. And it’s very recent history. In Europe, Finland was the first country to give women the vote in 1906, with Lichtenstein being the last country to join the movement in 1984.

Along with other diversity issues, such as race, sexuality and background, Valcon recognises the importance of gender equality in the workforce and strives to create equal education, job opportunities and salaries for women. To mark the 2023 IWD, Valcon has spoken to women across its geographies and business areas to get their views and perspectives on women in consultancy, technology and data. Please read on to get their thoughts on what it is like to be a woman working in our industry.
