Can women equally avail career opportunities as men do? Is it against the norms of society to create opportunities for Women in Tech? The answers to these questions evolve from time to time. In the past, many communities believed that women could not fulfill job criteria as men do. But, In this era of technological revolution, skill sets are prioritized over gender discrimination. Women participate equally in every field of life, particularly in technology.
Just like other developing communities, the technological revolution in Pakistan is empowering women digitally. Emerging startups and women-led companies are helping women discover new tech opportunities.
Among the tech companies, SheDev is the pioneer of women empowerment through tech in Gilgit-Baltistan, a remote area of Pakistan.

The story of SheDev is a testament to the power of determination and the drive to break barriers and empower women through technology.
