According to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2021, women remain severely underrepresented in three-quarters of the world's "jobs of tomorrow," a category that includes cloud computing, data and AI, engineering and product development.

Today, women often do not receive the opportunities they deserve in the tech industry, making it difficult for them to get the training and advancement offered to their male peers.

Huawei has launched projects to boost women's development such as Women in Tech since 2017 to address these concerns. Under its "Tech for Her, Tech by Her, Tech with Her" strategy, the company aims to create more opportunities for women to learn key digital skills. It is also committed to applying its own technologies to improve women's health, well-being and leadership in the digital age. Women in Tech has become one of the company's key CSR programs, running in more than 50 countries around the world.

"The rise of women in the tech world is a revitalizing wind that breaks down barriers and challenges previously preconceived norms. At Huawei El Salvador we embrace diversity and female talent, nurturing the empowerment of women at the digital forefront", said James Huang, CEO Huawei El Salvador.

As a leader in the ICT industry, Huawei is uniquely positioned to ensure that women are a key part of the technology industry. Female representation and participation bring new perspectives that can create both technological and business value.

In 2022, Huawei published its first diversity white paper and launched a new diversity initiative, hoping to further contribute to social equity and diversity, Huawei believes it can have a positive impact on gender equality worldwide by focusing on five key elements:

Improving diversity and ensuring equality in hiring,

Promoting female leadership at all levels,

Providing professional and family care for employees,

Fostering an open, inclusive, and safe corporate culture, and

Providing education, training and digital opportunities for all.

"At Huawei we recognize the crucial importance of fostering the development and entrepreneurship of women in the ICT field, we are proud to actively promote equal opportunities and foster an inclusive environment where women can thrive and reach their full potential in this dynamic and constantly evolving industry", said Gabriela Romero, Huawei El Salvador Human Resources manager.

Huawei is committed to providing training, mentoring and professional development programs designed specifically for talented women in the ICT field. The company builds a work environment where women can thrive, reach their full potential and be agents of change in the technology industry.

The multinational firmly believes that diversity of perspectives and skills enriches the technology ecosystem and enables them to innovate more effectively to meet the growing demands of the global marketplace.

"At Huawei we strongly believe in the inclusion and empowerment of women in the ICT industry, our commitment goes beyond words, it is reflected in our actions and in the active promotion of equal opportunities and experiences that enrich our organizational culture, we are proud to have exceptional women at all levels, from executive positions to technical roles, driving innovation and leadership", said Fabiola de Leon Public Relations manager of Huawei El Salvador.
