Use the "5 whys" method to dig into this a little more. Yes, one major problem is lack of women developers, but why is that the case? Keep asking questions and you'll see that there's some terribly broken and problematic answers to be found.
Creating a significantly higher demand for women developers is one way to help mitigate those causes and create more opportunity.

Keep asking questions and you'll see that there's some terribly broken and problematic answers to be found. Is that actually true, though? And if you think it is, how do you know? Here's what I know: The percentage of women that take the AP computer science exam in high school is about the same as the percentage of female software engineers. This means that whatever is keeping women out is happening before this point in the funnel.
