Women make up about half of the society, they are essential vector of a culture ever since, yet in free software projects, where digital infrastructure and common tools for all of us are designed and built\*, they represent only 3% of the contributors\*, in comparison to 7-23% in the industry [global\*\*-US\*\*\* data]. We believe, on top of other economical and social inequalities that limit women's participation in the space, it is because they are not always being treated fairly in the environment, especially when a project faces a conflict - and they leave, as a means of self-protection; or are being forced out, if they try to openly object the process.
