The purpose of the Cuti Women's Desk is to generate a sensitivity that enables the integration and professional growth of women in IT, based on the premise that technology development is an opportunity for social inclusion and women's empowerment.
Along these lines, the Board, made up of female managers from Cuti's member companies, has set the following objectives:
- To give visibility to the barriers and opportunities that women ("everyday women and senior executives") face in the IT sector.
- Enhancing opportunities and supporting the professional development of women in IT
- Generate actions to solve the barriers or brakes that women face in their professional careers.
- Promote awareness-raising, training and intervention actions that enable the inclusion of a diversity of women in the sector.
- Work together with women's communities in TI, roundtables and institutions that promote women's development and gender equality.
- Participating in the gender equality agenda in Uruguay
In March - women's month, the Bureau organises a cycle of 4 talks. These activities are aimed at all Cuti members, regardless of their gender and position in the company.
