an island along your e-walk

I'm just trying to create something....

women & IT

I've never liked to celebrate the women's day, because it should be obvious that women and men have same rights, but I've noticed that it's still hard to find a real equality and this time I want to spend some words about that.

Actually I think women and men are different from many points of view and their strenght is just in being different. There is nothing that a woman cannot do, but I notice that sometimes they do not believe in that. They need a proof of that or someone who can make them confident.

I'm a young woman working as IT Consultant in a team of only men (I'm also the only foreigner in my team).  Also, when I got my Master in Networking Engineering I was the only woman.

It's not easy to be a woman (so complicated), it's harder to be a woman between all men (they are so giants) but we can at least check our abilities in everything and we can success in everything.

In the IT environment it is difficult to find women and that's a pity as it could gain a lot. It should be seen as an attractive challenge for a woman and a good opportunity for an IT team to get more heterogeneous, determined and focused on specific goals.

I've attached this link to find news about an interesting event for the occasion of the women's day:
