Women make up about half of the society, yet in free software projects, where digital infrastructure and everyday tools for all of us are 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 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 self-protection. Objecting the process has resulted in being forced out.
