Women in Information Technology is an SBC initiative to discuss gender issues and Information Technology (IT) in Brazil - success stories, incentive policies and ways of engaging and attracting young people, especially women, to the careers associated with IT. Organized in the form of guest lectures and panels, the workshop focuses on discussing issues related to women and their access to IT, both from the labor market and digital inclusion and literacy points of view. The topics covered focus on the need to educate, recruit and train women as a strategic policy for national and regional development and competitiveness. The Girls Digital Forum has been part of WIT's activities since 2011 and is one of the actions of the SBC Girls Digital Program. This program is aimed at students of elementary, high school and technology, so that they know better the area of computer science and information and communication technologies, in order to motivate them to pursue careers in these areas. During the event the multipliers of this proposal take the opportunity to discuss projects and partnerships, in order to disseminate the initiative in the national territory.
