IF WE INSPIRE GIRLS, WE INSPIRE CHANGE.
WOMEN WHO MASTER
In STEM fields such as software engineering, systemic issues continue to prevent women from rising to the top.
The Logitech Master Series seeks to equip both men and women with the tools they need for peak performance and success - strengthening the company-wide values of global gender balance, diversity and equality.
With #WomenWhoMaster, our mission is to ignite an industry-wide movement that addresses these issues once and for all.
With WOMEN WHO MASTER, GIRLS CAN REALLY SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT.
Encouraging girls into STEM could give us twice the workforce and double the potential for our future.
It’s why we work closely with inspiring role models like Nelly Cheboi the founder of Techlit Africa and Aisha Bowe, Blue Origin Astronaute, founder of STEMBoard and LINGO.
Let’s keep widening the access for girls and help close the gender gap.
What (and Who) is Holding Women Back in Tech?
Logitech MX and Girls Who Code surveyed 400 Tech and IT workers, revealing the most influential breakthrough factors for women pursuing careers in these industries.
By educating about these key barriers and breakthrough factors in more schools, workplaces and society at large, we can support the success of more women in STEM.
Five Breakthroughs For Women Pursuing Tech
Early influences matter
Adult role-models such as teachers, parents and mentors play a pivotal role in supporting women at a young age.
Passion is the main driver for women pursuing tech or IT
Early passion for computers or how things work should be encouraged and pursued.
Once hired, a job that makes a meaningful contribution to society is very important
Finding a job that positively contributes to society is central to women’s career choices.
Access to women-friendly communities of support help them persist
Women reported that programs dedicated to women (44%) and finding support through professional networks (31%) help them persist.
Meaningful action from men makes a difference
To increase gender equality in the tech industry men must transform good intentions into meaningful action.

Meet Our Partners
Closing the gender gap in tech once and for all, one exceptional coder at a time.
Fewer women are entering tech than ever
Did you know that in 1995, 37% of computer scientists were women - but today, it’s only 24%?*
By addressing systemic problems in the world of coding, and countering the high drop-off rate in girls between the ages of 13 and 17, Girls Who Code aims to close the gender gap in entry-level tech jobs - by as early as 2027. And Logitech is committed to helping this ambition come true.
Enabling technical literacy as a path to financial independence.
Digital skills unlock global opportunities
To eradicate poverty in her home country, Kenya, Nelly Cheboi founded nonprofit Techlit Africa - which now provides 4,000 students across 10 rural schools with the skills they need to thrive. Soon expanding to 100 additional schools across Kenya, Nelly is set to bring self-efficacy, troubleshooting and internet skills to 40,000 students.
For the entirety of 2023, Logitech will be funding all computer classes in Logiri School.
