International Women's Day 2022
Happy International Women’s Day 2022!
It’s the one day to celebrate, but not the only day of the year to practice..
..as equality is a continuous process which has to be kept in motion, there are still more things to address than we would want to belive. I just drop “gender pay gap” and we need no further discussion, as to what should go first on the list in the “Western World” and no need to mention Women Rights and suppression in more than many other parts of the planet.
I guess this place would be peacefuller (not to say better) if run by women.
I did always find it peculiar that in IT Infrastructure so little Women are present, at least here in Austria, because I think that the spin of things and design of systems would benefit immensly and I’m not even talking about work climate.
When visiting my first SQLSaturday, I was delighted to see that the gender ratio within the IT Data Field was a complete different one and I did wish the same to happen to the IT Infrastructure Department..
..but change is coming slowly and I think as Cloud Technologies make Infrastructure more of a brain than a muscle job (removing the parts where it was necessary to lift heavy servers into racks while being in a dark and cold datacenter) it becomes more approachable, I will totally dig this development in Austria.
As nicely stated by Microsoft Malaysa about Women in Cybersecurity: #BreakTheBias
When talking about this topic, it is inevitable for me to mention: Paula Januszkiewicz I do recommend taking her courses, respectively CQURE.
Cheers to Women!
especially IT Infrastructure! 😄
