WOMEN’S DAY FORUM

With a focus on gender equality and female empowerment, London Stock Exchange Group hosted a Women’s Day forum titled ‘We Can Do IT’ for students studying ICT at the University of Moratuwa, University of Kelaniya, Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT) and Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT). The panellists shared their personal experiences including details of their chosen career paths, and their views on career advancements and maintaining a work-life balance. They also spoke of the challenges faced working in a historically male-dominated industry, before discussing the enormous scope within the local and global ICT arena for women today.
