That's really interesting, thank you.
I'm going to open up my next question, or area I'd like to hear more about, to all our witnesses because I think we've all spoken about this. Specifically I want to talk about the safe and secure workplace. You've all raised the fact that there is a hostile work environment sometimes, and that is a major hurdle we need to address in male-dominated workplaces, and a lot of workplaces where women have been traditionally under-represented. Even on Tuesday one of our witnesses from TechGirls brought up the issue of micro-aggressions. We don't even realize it but sometimes it's little things like “Well, you should have smiled then”, which seem harmless on their own, but realistically it comes from a place of seeing women in certain roles.
I'd like to hear from all of you on your recommendations on how to change not just the workplace culture in terms of encouraging mentoring and encouraging women to seek these jobs, but also in creating safe, secure workplaces that are free of harassment for women.
