A profile extract of ICT professionals in the city of Maringá-PR
Abstract
This paper describes an analysis of the professional women profile in the Information and Communication Technology in Maringá-PR. Through a questionnaire answered by 33 professionals, it was possible to identify age, degree of education, the more occupied positions, the perception of gender bias and harassment, and the perception of competence. Establishing a relationship between age and the perception of gender harassment and competence, women over 40 years reported having suffered less harassment and they considered themselves competent. On the other hand, most of the women as young as 39 years old reported having already suffered some kind of harassment and they did not consider themselves competent enough.
