According to data from the Office for National Statistics, Black women make up less than 1% of the IT industry. This even becomes more concerning considering the fact that women of all ethnicities constitute only 22% of the industry’s workforce. This disparity highlights not only the systemic challenges faced by Black women but also raises a profound question about how truly inclusive and diverse the tech landscape is.
