Nearly half of women in tech report gender discrimination

ISACA's survey quantifies what has long been anecdotal: systematic exclusion remains embedded in tech workplaces despite decades of diversity initiatives. The 47% figure matters less than what it reveals about the failure of existing interventions. If nearly half of women experience discrimination, retention programs and ERG funding are addressing symptoms, not structural problems. This data will likely accelerate pressure toward regulatory frameworks and insurance-backed accountability mechanisms.
