Gender Bias in 2025

Diversity, equity and inclusion
E-Book

There is still a huge disparity in unpaid labour and the World Economic Forum estimates it will take 134 years to achieve salary parity at the current rate of progress. In tech, where women represent just 28.2% of the global workforce, the hill to climb is steeper.

We interviewed women from ten countries, with experiences living and working in many more, showed us that gender bias still shapes our families, our expectations, our lives and our careers — wherever in the world we live.

This project came about with a simple intention: to help build deeper cultural understanding across our regions through truly human stories from Thoughtworkers around the world.

We hope you’ve enjoyed these glimpses into Thoughtworkers’ experiences. Their stories remind us that the work of gender equity is far from complete, and that it’s essential for us to create spaces where everybody can thrive.
