This International Women’s Day, Firefox is raising awareness against bias, and raising a hand for equality.
We went to women in tech whose work we admire and asked them: what do you hope for women on the web? Here’s what they had to say:
More empowerment, less harassment
A theme emerged among responses to our prompt that could become a motto for how we achieve the web we want this year and every year after: more empowerment, less harassment.
Mozilla’s mission from the beginning has been to ensure that the internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all, and empowerment is certainly a part of what we strive for. We’re committed to an internet that includes all people of the earth—where a person’s demographic characteristics don’t determine their online access, opportunities or quality of experience.
The more diverse and inclusive we can make the web, the better it will be for everyone.
