I make this point every time with my friends whenever discussing these "Girls who code" kind of initiatives. I grew up with two sisters who took interest in science naturally. In my class in computer science, girls outnumbered boys and scored well. It is natural for girls in India (middle class educated Indian, which is the majority of the country for the past 50 years) to pursue science related degrees. I think, in US this is not the case and US girls were encouraged to impress boys for dating and activism is targeted at US girls.
