ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sexism in the technology industry

Sexism in the technology industry happens when people think that boys are better at using technology than girls. This is not true! Girls are just as good as boys at using technology. Sometimes, people who work in the technology industry think that girls are not as smart as boys. This is called sexism. It's like if someone says that girls can't play with trucks because they're just for boys. It's unfair and not true!

Sometimes, girls don't want to work in the technology industry because they feel like they won't be treated fairly. This is called discrimination. It's like if you wanted to play with a toy car, but someone told you that you couldn't because you're a girl. It's unfair and not right!

Many companies are trying to stop sexism and discrimination in the technology industry by making sure that they treat everyone fairly. They want everyone to feel like they can work in the technology industry and be respected. This is important because girls can be really good at working with technology too!
