“ We ’ re really focused on both sides , connecting the tech companies and our community in terms of visibility ” their challenges and successes .”
The organisation is fundraising for $ 100,000 dollars to hit its budget goal and make it free , having so far raised $ 75,000 and providing 75,000 scholarships to community partners in organisations focused on STEM and technology . “ We have already confirmed many speakers and IT leaders from SAP to Microsoft , Google , Amazon , Facebook , and so on , and women from investment firms across the Middle East from Egypt to Turkey to Dubai who will be represented .” Nasiri is clear that organisations such as Women of MENA in Technology cannot be solely relied upon to turn the tide , or even companies or recruiters . “ I think it ’ s everyone ’ s responsibility . If you are an engineer working on a product , you have a responsibility to make sure the company where you are working is introducing talent and bringing your network in so that it is diverse . Everyone needs to speak up when in your company , something is not done right .”
