IT and computing is increasingly male-dominated in Australia, but there are plenty of women succeeding in tech roles.
The theme for this year's International Women's Day, March 8, is "pledge for parity". IT and computing in Australia is not equal and has moved further from parity.
Over the past decade, the trend has been for fewer women graduating university with IT or related computing degrees.
The number of male IT graduates has dropped as well, but not as quickly, which means the percentage of graduates who are women has dropped.
In employment, the trend is still downward; employees in the area of Computer System Design and Related Services who are women has dropped since the early 1990s.
