    Every industry other than the technology industry has a lot of women working in them. But the technology industry is lagging behind with a very small percentage of women entering in. In a study made upon around 132 companies which employ almost 4.6million people. Whenever women has entered the tech industry  they have been outvoted by the number of men in the industry and they lose ground when they try to climb up the system.
