Don't mind the gap, mend it!
BIMA’s SHIMA initiative aims to mobilise its members to ‘mend the gap’ and overcome gender and other equality gaps, creating inclusive workplaces and increasing business performance for everyone. SHIMA aims to be the voice of those who identify as women.
The SHIMA initiative is designed for anyone in tech to address key challenges and opportunities at various stages of a woman’s career. Unfortunately, women in the digital and tech industry still have a way to go to reach their full potential and equity.
SHIMA recognises the urgency of these issues and is committed to mobilising the industry towards gender equality and inclusive workplaces.
At its core, SHIMA aims to provide women-led and women-focused content, acknowledging the importance of representation and support. With half of our membership comprising women, SHIMA plays a crucial role in bridging the gender gap across all levels of tech organisations.
Join SHIMA today to be part of a vibrant community that offers online and in-person events, content and the support of SHIMA Champions and Ambassadors.
SHIMA is for everyone: women in digital & tech, those who identify as women, and women allies. We want to ensure that we have as many men as possible included in the SHIMA initiative, as we believe men also play a crucial role in advancing gender equality in tech.
Engaging men in discussions about implementing new initiatives for women in the workplace can foster a culture of support. Highlighting male role models who have championed diversity and inclusion efforts can inspire others to follow suit.
Come along to network, learn, and contribute to the community.
