Breaking Barriers, Building Futures
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is thrilled to announce the launch of our groundbreaking video campaign, designed to celebrate and empower women working in the fibre industry. This campaign not only showcases the remarkable achievements, skills, and contributions of these women, but also aims to promote gender equality and inspire the next generation of female professionals in the field.
As part of this initiative, we invited eight extraordinary women from within the FTTH Council Europe’s membership community to share their unique experiences and perspectives. These women candidly discuss their journeys into the fibre industry, detailing how and why they chose this career path and what motivates them to excel. Through their stories, we gain insight into the challenges they have overcome and the successes they have achieved.
Advocating for Inclusion and Diversity
The realm of technology, historically dominated by male professionals, has seen a skewed representation of genders. This trend extends to the FTTH industry, where women, despite possessing equal competence and vision, often find fewer opportunities and face greater challenges in ascending to leadership roles. Nevertheless, women in the fibre industry play a crucial role in driving innovation, advancing sustainability, and fostering community building. Their diverse contributions are essential to the continued growth and evolution of the industry. By highlighting their stories, this campaign aims to shed light on the significant impact women have in this sector, inspiring not only female professionals and students interested in the fibre sector, but also the general public interested in gender equality and industry innovation to follow in their footsteps.
At its core, this campaign is a powerful advocacy tool for a more inclusive and diverse industry. By celebrating the successes of these women and sharing their stories, we hope to challenge existing stereotypes, break down barriers, and create a more welcoming environment for women in the fibre industry.
