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(\*), in comparison to 7-23% in the industry [global(\*\*)-US(\*\*\*) data]. We believe, on top of other economical and social inequalities that limit women's participation in the space, it is because they are not always being treated fairly in the environment, especially when a project faces a conflict - and they leave, as a means of self-protection. Objecting the process has been observed to result in being forced out from the project.
