This work package seeks to investigate why women choose careers in but not limited to IT, DS, HCI, and ICT4D, identify the challenges they face, as well as what makes them successful in those careers.

This work package will explore various feminist approaches in STEA+M and use the lessons garnered to find ways of facilitating gender equity in the field. This work package also seeks to contribute to curriculum development such that IT, DS, HCI and ICT4D appeal to women.

This work package seeks to understand the factors that dissuade women and gender-diverse people from participating in co-design ventures and develop methodologies that make co-design projects gender just.

This work package seeks to build a support network (GeJuSTA Academy) for early career (women) academics where they will be mentored and empowered to cope and compete favourably with their male counterparts in the IT, DS, HCI and ICT4D fields.
