summary
Global Girls in Tech is a nonprofit social enterprise building a mentorship program that pairs preselected high‑school girls with female tech leaders for 3–6 months to counteract social isolation and teasing in STEM clubs. The project cites a surprising statistic that women hold more than half of all professional jobs but fewer than 24% of computing roles and attributes the gap to perception and social pressure. Plan focuses on nurturing students and educating parents and peers.
