We anticipate that more companies will follow our lead into the Girl Market. Some have already produced software titles, though most do not venture beyond the safety zone of traditional play patterns for girls. As the girl technology market grows, companies will be braver with their product design, and girls around the world will benefit. That's a tough question. Creating and inventing are definitely things that I find rewarding, as well as speaking out about and being listened to and validated for the process of change in how our society values girls.
Research shows that both boys and girls are aware that boys are valued more highly in society.
In the US, girls tend to lose self-esteem and confidence at the beginning of early adolescence much more so than boys. We at Girl Tech are dedicated to empowering girls, teaching them to overcome stereotypical thinking and to reach their full potential. Besides giving birth, successfully surviving a very challenging start-up venture. The biggest challenge we faced when we started Girl Tech was finding funding and support from the industry. Individuals, especially women and fathers of daughters, immediately understood the Girl Tech concept and fully believed that its time had come.
