+Women make up about half of the society, yet in free software projects, where digital infrastructure and tools for all of us is being made, they represent only 3% of the contributors(\*), compared to 7-23% in the industry [global(\*\*)-US(\*\*\*) data]. We believe, on top of the other economical and social inequalities that limit their access to the space, it is because they are not always being treated fairly in the environment, especially when the project faces a conflict - and they leave, as a means of protecting themselves. Those who openly objects the process may be forced out.
