So we know that Tech is missing out on a lot of highly qualified talent from a diverse range of groups, though today we may be highlighting gender concerns and the role of male allies. The end game is to have all kinds of diverse participation in tech, for example, across age, abilities, language, race and sexualities. And, of course, even when it comes to gender, women aren't one big homogeneous group. Nor are men. We also belong to many other different groups and have different intersecting identities like race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and some of the other identities you see in this slide. And of course, some of these identities have been mawr historically marginalized than others, so that's also important to keep in mind. It's also worth mentioning that the strategies and actions we will suggest later today are not women specific. They are about fixing the overall environment, making it mawr inclusive for a variety of underrepresented groups. This also means that it's not only male allies that are important but majority group allies. We will say more about that in a moment, but for now remember that we are all sometimes a minority and sometimes a majority in certain contexts. So be thinking about how your identity shifts with the context and have some of the strategies we talk about. Today are things that any majority group ally conduce for example, white women advocating for women or people of color, heterosexual folks advocating for LGBT q inclusion and that ultimately, these air strategies that benefit all employees.
